Answer 2

Pedro Wins 2000 Cy Young Award

On November 13, Pedro Martinez was awarded the American League's Cy Young Award. Like last year, the decision was unanimous, making him the first player ever to win the award unanimously in consecutive years. The announcement did not come as a surprise, considering the way in which Pedro dominated the American League this season. His ERA was a minuscule 1.74, less than half the 3.70 ERA which was second-best in the league, and three whole runs lower than the league average of 4.90. His 18-6 record is due to the fact that Pedro only received an average of 4 runs of support per game in 2000. (And a total of only 7 runs were scored over his 6 losses.) Compare that with the 6 runs of support he averaged last year, and the fact that he lost 4 games by one run this year, and his record could easily be 22-2. In fact, there were only two games in which Pedro gave up more than 3 runs. One was a 4-spot in Toronto right before he went on the D.L. The other was the 5-run inning against Kansas City. But after giving up 5 runs in the first and one in the second, he bounced back and only allowed one more hit as he pitched through the eighth inning, allowing the Red Sox to catch up and win the game in extra innings. Most great pitchers have a bad game here and there, even during Cy Young seasons. But Pedro had only one bad inning in his entire season. Wow!
