Nathan Eovaldi was nothing short of fantastic for the Boston Red Sox this season. Unsurprisingly, it put him in contention for a Cy Young award, which the Baseball Writers Association of America announced Wednesday.
The right-hander finished fourth in American League voting with 41 points. He received eight third-place votes, six fourth-place votes and five-fifth place votes.
Division rival Robbie Ray of the Toronto Blue Jays won the AL Cy Young award with 29 first-place votes. New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole came in second.
Eovaldi was the only member of the Red Sox up for the award.
Eovaldi finished the season with a 11-9 record on the mound. He compiled a 3.75 ERA while going 1-2 with a 6.97 ERA in three postseason appearances.
