A top-of-the-rotation workhorse blended a blistering sinking fastball with pinpoint control, earning Cy Young awards in both the A.L. and N.AL. An eight-time All-Star delivered a .659 winning percentage, 203 career victories, and three 20-win seasons. He led his league in strikeout-to-walk ratio five times and innings pitched four times. He also led his league in complete games seven times, the most of any pitcher whose career began after World War II. He threw two no-hit games, both in 2010: a perfect game in the regular season and the second-ever postseason no-hitter in Game 1 of the N.L.D.S.
