Won American League Cy Young Award Scherzer recorded his first career 20+ win season in 2013 as a member of the Detroit Tigers. His 21-win, three-loss effort, along with a 2.90 earned run average (ERA), 240 strikeouts, and WHIP of 0.972 earned him not only his first All-Star appearance but also the vote of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BWAA) as the AL Cy Young Award winner. His effort in 2013, coming off his appearance in the 2012 World Series, helped return the Tigers to the AL Championship Series, which they lost to the Boston Red Sox. This award was the last Cy Young he would win in the AL but not the last Cy Young Award he would win.

Scherzer’s fantastic performance in 2013 led to his winning his first career Cy Young Award as a member of the Detroit Tigers.
