Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale will have to wait ‘til next year for his Cy Young, as he was beat out Cleveland’s Corey Kluber, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced Wednesday night.
Kluber (18-4, 2.25 ERA) received 28 out of 30 first-place votes, with Sale (17-8, 2.90 ERA) receiving the remaining two. Luis Severino of the Yankees received no first place votes, but finished in the top three.
Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel also managed to finish in the top-six, accruing 27 points on the BBWAA scale.
