Top-of-rotation workhorse blended a blistering sinking fastball with pinpoint control, earning Cy Young awards in both the A.L. and N.AL. Eight-time All-Star delivered a .659 winning percentage, 203 career victories and three 20-win seasons. Led his league in strikeout-to-walk ratio five times and innings pitched four times. League leader in complete games seven times, most of any pitcher whose career began after World War II. 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.
