Zack Greinke Wins the 2009 Cy Young Award!
Zack Greinke capped a memorable 2009 Tuesday, winning the Cy Young Award, presented annually by the Baseball Writers of America.

Zack Greinke Shuts Down Twins, Improves his Cy Young Resume
Zack Greinke struck out eight Twins, walked just two (thanks to a bizarre strike zone) and scattered merely seven hits over seven innings. Six of the seven hits were singles, with Orlando Cabrera the only Twin to manage an extra-base hit with a double. Greinke is now 16-8, with an ERA of 2.06....
With Another Great Start, It's Time to Give Zack Greinke the Cy Young Award
