Paul Skenes of the Pirates in the NL

Tarik Skubal of the Tigers in the AL

That's back-to-back Cy Youngs for Skubal.

Skenes finished 10-10 with a 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts in 187.2 innings for the Pirates, allowing just 11 home runs and limiting batters to a .199 average. He led NL pitchers in ERA, WHIP (0.948) and FanGraphs WAR (6.5), while ranking tied for second in strikeouts and second in lowest OPS allowed.

Trivia question for you, Diamond Dog: Skubal has won two straight Cy Youngs.

Which two MLB pitchers are tied with a record four consecutive Cy Youngs?
