The Red Sox will be hoping Wednesday’s Cy Young Award vote goes better for star pitcher Garrett Crochet than Monday’s American League Rookie of the Year Award vote went for outfielder Roman Anthony.

Anthony finished third for the award behind a pair of Athletics, first baseman Nick Kurtz and shortstop Jacob Wilson. Kurtz won the award unanimously.

Kurtz was seen as a frontrunner for the award for the majority of the season after one of the best rookie years in recent MLB history. He ended with a .290 batting average, 36 HRs and 86 RBIs.
