Lincecum Repeats As Cy Young Winner

3 months ago

Giants ace Tim Lincecum has won the NL Cy Young
Award, becoming the first repeat winner in the major leagues since Randy Johnson was voted the prize four straight times from 1999-2002.

Lincecum led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league
lead with four complete games and two shutouts.

Only 10 points separated the top three in one of the closest
ballots in the award's history.

Lincecum received 11 first-place votes, 12 seconds and nine
thirds for 100 points in balloting released Thursday by the
Baseball Writers' Association of America. Cardinals ace Chris
Carpenter was next with 94 points and teammate Adam Wainwright finished third with 90 despite getting the most first-place votes with 12.
