Both Kluber and Scherzer had won the award previously, Kluber claiming the trophy in 2014, and Scherzer having won in 2013 and 2016.
Kluber became the 19th pitcher to win at least two Cy Young Awards when he was named the American League’s winner on Wednesday night. Scherzer, named National League winner shortly afterwards, became just the 10th pitcher to win at least three. Scherzer also became just the 11th pitcher to win consecutive Cy Young Awards.
The awards are voted on by two writers in each city represented by the league.
