Bartolo Colon of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim has been named the winner of the 2005 American League Cy Young Award. Colon is just the second Angels pitcher to claim the honor and the first since Dean Chance in 1964. The vote from the Baseball Writers' Association of America was not unanimous, but Colon received 17 first-place votes and 11 second-place tallies for a total of 118 points. He was the only pitcher named on every ballot. New York Yankees relief ace Mariano Rivera was second in the balloting, earning eight first-place votes and a total of 68 points. Minnesota's Johan Santana, last year's unanimous winner, finished third this year with three first-place votes and 51 total points. Colon was the lone 20-game winner in the American League this past season, finishing the campaign with a record of 21-8. It was the first 20-win season for an Angels pitcher since Nolan Ryan was 22-16 in 1974. In addition, Colon ranked eighth in the league with a 3.48 earned run average and tied for eighth with 157 strikeouts. He also had three complete games and tied for second in the AL with two shutouts. "I'm very happy the work and the year Bartolo had is being recognized with this great honor," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Unless you see Bartolo work day in and day out, and how hard he prepared for games, how much from the pain he pitched through, and how well he performed this year, you really don't get a picture to what an accomplishment it was. We would not have been in the position we were without the year Bartolo had." The Angels won the AL West and beat the Yankees in five games in the Division Series before losing to the White Sox in the ALCS. Colon injured his shoulder in that fifth game of the first round and wasn't on the Angels' ALCS roster. The voting by the BBWAA came before the playoffs began. "It doesn't take away the pain, the sour taste in my mouth," Colon said through an interpreter about the Angels being eliminated. "I still wanted to go a little further. We were all thinking of going and winning the World Series." Rivera, who was third in last year's voting, had a record this season of 7-4 with a 1.38 ERA and 43 saves. Colon actually credited Rivera with some of his success, saying the Yankee closer taught him how to use a cut fastball. "When we were shagging in batting practice, I used to go to Mariano and asked him 'how do you hold certain pitches' which he graciously shared with me," Colon said. "My cutter is nowhere near Mariano's right now, but at some point hopefully it will move just as much because it's a very special pitch. He's always been very generous in sharing information with me, and I have to thank him for that." Santana completed the 2005 campaign 16-7 with a 2.87 ERA -- second-best in the AL -- and a league-high 238 strikeouts. Cleveland Indians lefty Cliff Lee was fourth in the voting with eight points, while Chicago White Sox southpaw Mark Buehrle finished fifth with five points. Another member of the World Series champion White Sox -- Jon Garland -- received one point, as did Cleveland's Kevin Millwood. The AL & NL Managers of the Year will be revealed on Wednesday, while the NL Cy Young winner will be announced Thursday.
