Atlanta Braves left-hander Chris Sale won the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday night after being the league's first pitching triple crown winner since 2011.
Detroit’s Tarik Skubal, who turned 28 on Wednesday, was a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award after the lefty took the pitching triple crown in that league. Atlanta acquired Sale in a trade last December after he made only 31 starts for the Red Sox from 2021-23. He missed the 2020 season and most of 2021 after Tommy John surgery. He made only two starts in 2022 after he fractured a rib and then broke his left pinkie. He broke his right wrist riding a bicycle in August 2023, ending his final season with Boston.
Clayton Kershaw had been the NL’s last pitching triple crown winner in 2011, which was also the last time both leagues had a pitcher finish the same season with the most wins and strikeouts, and best qualifying ERA. Kershaw won the first of his three Cy Young Awards with the Los Angeles Dodgers that year, and 24-game winner Justin Verlander took the AL prize for Detroit.
