Nationals ace Max Scherzer has become the sixth pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues, taking the NL prize by a wide margin.
Scherzer picked up 25 of 30 first-place votes after leading the majors with 284 strikeouts and pacing the National League with 20 victories.
He outdistanced Cubs hurlers Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks in the balloting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
