The NL Cy Young Award went to the Milwaukee Brewers ace on Wednesday, finishing ahead of the other two nominees.
Burnes earned more points than Wheeler for the award. Both got 12 first-place votes, while Scherzer got six.
Burnes finished the year with an MLB-low 2.43 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 234 strikeouts in just 28 games. In August, he tied a record by striking out 10 straight in a game against the Chicago Cubs, after setting a major league record by beginning the season with 58 strikeouts without a walk. His strikeouts per nine-innings (12.6), strikeout-to-walk ratio and home runs allowed per nine-innings topped all major leaguers.
Burnes was the first Brewers pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. Rollie Ringers and Pete Vuckovich were the other Cy Young winners for the Brewers. The Brewers moved to the NL in 1998.
