Felix Hernandez vows to work harder after finishing second in the voting for the American League Cy Young to Corey Kluber of the Cleveland Indians.
"I don't know what to say. That was tough," Hernandez said. "A little disappointed. Just give me more motivation to work harder and harder and be better next year."
The Seattle Mariners right-hander finished just 10 points behind Kluber.
Hernandez went 15-6 with an AL-leading 2.14 ERA and 248 strikeouts in 236 innings.
"I had a great year," Hernandez said. "Health, I feel fine the whole year. ... I think I pitched way better than 2010."
