Andrew Miller Becomes Fourth Reliever To Win ALCS MVP

Oct 20, 2016 7:01 AM

Andrew Miller was named MVP of the ALCS after he helped lift the Cleveland Indians to the World Series for the first time since 1997.

The Indians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in five games with Miller striking out 14 of the 26 batters he faced in the series. Miller allowed just three hits in 7 2/3 shutout innings and earned a save in Game 3.

"At this point of the year, you just find a way. That's all that matters. It's about winning," Miller said. "I would have given up 100 runs if we won 101-100. That's all that matters is we're going to the World Series, and that's a special experience and I can't wait."

Miller became just the fourth reliever ever to win the award, joining Dennis Eckersley (1988), Mariano Rivera (2003) and Koji Uehara (2013).
