MILWAUKEE (AP) -- CC Sabathia had a dominant half-season for the Milwaukee Brewers but it wasn't enough to earn him the NL Cy Young award.

Pitching's highest honor went Tuesday to Tim Lincecum, the 24-year-old ace of the San Francisco Giants.

Sabathia came to Milwaukee in a midseason trade with Cleveland. He went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA for the Brewers, throwing seven complete games in 17 starts.

He picked up just one of 32 first-place Cy Young votes, perhaps hurt by the fact that he pitched half his season in the American League.

Lincecum was 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and a major league-best 265 strikeouts.
