Roy Halladay Wins Cy Young

Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay has won his 2nd CY Young Award in a landslide vote getting all 32 first place votes. Halladay who the Phillies acquired in December pitched a perfect game in Florida in May. The 33-year-old right-hander, led the majors in wins (21) as he went 21-10, shutouts (4), complete games (9) and innings pitched (250 2/3). He also finished second in the NL with 219 strikeouts and was third with a 2.44 ERA - the second lowest of his 13-year big league career (2.41 in 2005). Halladay also had the 2nd no hitter in postseason history even though it does not matter to the voters as the votes are due in on the last day of the season. Adam Wainwright of St.Louis was 2nd. Halladay is also the fifth pitcher to earn the honor in both leagues.
