Wednesday night, the BBWAA named Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello the winner of the 2016 AL Cy Young award. He beat out Tigers righty Justin Verlander in the second closest Cy Young vote in history.
Verlander actually received more first-place votes than Porcello -- way more, in fact, it was 14-8 -- but Porcello won because he had a huge edge in second-place votes (18-2).
