It simply would have been wrong if he hadn't have won the Cy Young award.
So for the moment, all is right in the world of baseball. Forget that the Tigers fell short this year.
Tiger Max Scherzer, who pitched amazingly all season long, was handed the coveted Cy Young Award for the American League for 2013 on Wednesday, ESPN reported.
Scherzer, 29, finished with pretty good stats: a 21-3 record with a 2.90 ERA in 32 starts.
ESPN reports that he received 28 of 30 first-place votes. Scherzer led the majors in wins, finished second in strikeouts (240) and third in WHIP (0.97). The station reported that Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers finished second and Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners came in third.
In 2011, Justin Verlander won the award. -- Allan Lengel
