Giants Tim Lincecum Wins 2009 NL Cy Young Award: Tim Lincecum is now two-for-two, as today, the San Francisco Giants ace was named the 2009 National League Cy Young Award winner for a second straight year. In what became one of the closest voting in the history of the coveted award, the lanky righty became the first repeat winner since teammate Randy Johnson did it with Arizona.

Lincecum became the first recipient to earn the award with only 15 wins in a season, the fewest by a starter over a full season. The 25-year-old Lincecum led the NL in strikeouts with 261 and was also tied for complete games (4) and shutouts (2). How close was this race?

The difference between Lincecum and the top-3 vote-getters -- Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright both members of the St. Louis Cardinals -- was just 10 points. "The guys I was going up against, Wainwright and Carpenter, had tremendous seasons," Lincecum said. "It was a lucky one for me. I'll take them as they come I guess."

Lincecum joins 2009 AL Cy Young winner Royals Zack Greinke, who was also honored despite being in a losing team and also equaled the previous low of 16 wins.
