The 28-year-old ace, who helped the Tigers advance to the American League Championship Series, also led AL pitchers by throwing 251 innings and holding opponents to a .192 batting average.

Verlander, who features a 100-mph fastball, pitched a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays in May and his win total was the most in the league since 1990 when Bob Welch won 27 games for the Oakland Athletics.

Los Angeles Angels starter Jered Weaver (18-8, 2.41 ERA), the only other pitcher named on each ballot, placed second while Tampa Bay Rays pitcher James Shields (16-12, 2.82 ERA) finished third.
