Cleveland's Corey Kluber, Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, win the Cy Young
One was a historic no-brainer. The other was a Major League surprise.
In the end, Cy Young Awards day was, as always, good for pitching fans, and on Wednesday, a very good day to have the initials C.K.
The official honors bestowed upon Clayton Kershaw and Corey Kluber as the winners of the 2014 Cy Young Awards, which were announced on MLB Network on Wednesday night, were as well-deserved as they were different.

As for Kluber and the American League Cy Young Award voting, it wasn't so clear cut. Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez, who won the 2010 Cy Young, and White Sox lefty Chris Sale both put together stellar seasons and had solid arguments in their corner. But Kluber prevailed by nailing down 17 first-place votes to Hernandez's 13, which led to a close 169-159 final tally separating first place from second. Kluber, who had never received one Cy Young Award vote prior to Wednesday, walked away the winner.
