Robbie Ray started trending on Twitter in a hurry after the Toronto Blue Jays left-hander won the American League’s Cy Young Award on Wednesday night.
Ray, who is now a free agent, captured 29 of 30 first-place votes to easily become the fourth Blue Jay to win the AL’s top pitcher honour.
Here is a sampling of the reaction on Twitter:

Robbie Ray, prior to this season, had only received Cy Young votes once in his career. Finished 7th that season. He just won the Cy Young as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Take a bow Pete Walker.
