Dallas Keuchel becomes 1st Astros’ pitcher to win AL Cy Young

Dallas Keuchel is the first Houston pitcher to win the award since the Astros moved to the American League in 2013. There were two Astros winners during their 51 seasons in the National League: Mike Scott in 1986 and Roger Clemens in 2004.

It was the second runner-up finish for Price, the 2012 winner with the Tampa Bay Rays who also placed second in 2010 to the Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez.

Keuchel and Price were the only pitchers named on every ballot.

Ballots from two writers in each league city prior to postseason play are tabulated on a system that rewards seven points for first place, four points for second place, three points for third place, two votes for fourth place and one point for fifth place.
