Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves and Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers capped their dominant seasons by winning the Cy Young Awards of their respective leagues, as announced Wednesday night by Major League Baseball.
Both left-handers won the pitching Triple Crown, with Sale leading the National League in wins, strikeouts and ERA, and Skubal — who was voted for the award unanimously — repeating the feat in the American League.
It is the first Cy Young Award for each.
