The headline sums up Blake Snell’s many accomplishments on the mound in the month of August that compelled MLB to award him NL Pitcher of the Month. It’s the fifth time he’s won the award overall, and his second in the NL — the last time coming in September 2023, when he capped off a run that landed him NL Cy Young.

It’s the 18th time a Giant has won the award since its inception in 1975 (trivia answer: Bob Knepper in May 1978 was the first winner) and their most recent pitcher to win the award since Kevin Gausman in May 2021.
