CHICAGO — Guaranteed Rate Field was abuzz on Aug. 16 with the starting pitchers as the center of the attention.
Dylan Cease took the mound for the Chicago White Sox, squaring off against Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander.
Many figured then that the two would finish near the top of the American League Cy Young Award voting. That turned out to be the case, with Verlander winning the award Wednesday and Cease placing second.
