Secaucus, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - The Baseball Writers Association of America revealed the candidates for MLBs four major individual honors on Tuesday. Clayton Kershaw has a chance at joining elite company as the Dodgers ace is among the three NL MVP finalists. The last pitcher to win the MVP award in the Senior Circuit was Bob Gibson in 1968. Kershaw will almost certainly take home his third NL Cy Young Award in four years. The left-hander led the majors with 21 wins in just 27 starts, and his minuscule 1.77 ERA and 0.86 WHIP rank among the best of the last century. Johnny Cueto of the Reds and Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals are the other finalists for the NL Cy Young Award, while Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins and Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates will battle Kershaw for MVP honors. McCutchen is trying to win the award in back-to-back seasons. Miguel Cabreras two-year reign as AL MVP has come to an end, as Angels outfielder Mike Trout, Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez and Indians outfielder Michael Brantley were named this years finalists. Trout was the runner-up to Cabrera each of the previous two seasons. Felix Hernandez of the Mariners, Corey Kluber of the Indians and Chris Sale of the White Sox were nominated on the AL Cy Young Award ballot. White Sox outfielder Jose Abreu, Yankees reliever Dellin Betances and Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker were submitted for the AL Rookie of the Year Award, while Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton and Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong are the NL rookie hopefuls. Baltimores Buck Showalter, the Angels Mike Scioscia and Ned Yost of the AL champion Royals were the nominees for the AL Manager of the Year Award. Showalter first won this award 20 years ago with the Yankees and added another 10 years later with the Rangers. Bruce Bochy of the World Series champion Giants, Washingtons Matt Williams and Pittsburghs Clint Hurdle comprise the field for the best NL skipper. The winners will be announced next week.

Tuukka Rask made 31 saves Saturday, and the defending Eastern Conference champions eliminated the Red Wings with a 4-2 victory in Game 5. After finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL, the Bruins advanced to the conference semifinals against the Montreal Canadiens. "That series was much tougher than maybe the results showed," said Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who gave Boston the lead for good with 4 seconds left in the second period. "I think that we handled it well, we came into this series ready and we got the job done." Loui Eriksson opened the scoring for Boston, and Charas goal on a 4-on-3 advantage snapped a 1-1 tie. Milan Lucic also scored, and Jarome Iginla added an empty-netter. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored and Jonas Gustavsson stopped 29 shots for Detroit. The Red Wings scored only six goals in the five-game series. "Were not there yet," said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, whose team failed to win a playoff series in two of the past three seasons. "The last two years, we battled to get into the playoffs. To me, thats a measure of where we are. Instead of battling for the Cup, were battling to make the playoffs." It was 1-1 when the Bruins gained a 4-on-3 power play thanks to a holding penalty on Johan Franzen just 22 seconds before Brendan Smith was called for cross-checking. On a faceoff in the Detroit zone, Patrice Bergeron lured two of the three Red Wings defenders toward the corner and then passed it across the ice to Chara, who one-timed it past Gustavsson. Not usually demonstrative, Chara felt this one was worth celebrating. "It was a big game and a big goal," he said. "So Im not afraid to show it." Lucics goal with 4:27 gone in the third made it a two-goal game. Detroit made it 3-2 with 3:52 left after Rask made two acrobatic saves but left the puck to the side of the nett for Zetterberg, the Red Wings captain who missed two months with back surgery and did not return until Game 4.dddddddddddd Less than a minute later, though the Wings were called for too many men on the ice, leaving them a man down while trying to finish the comeback. With 2 minutes left in the game, the Boston fans began chanting "We want the cup!" Next up: Montreal, which swept Tampa Bay. "Guys were never ever really talking about Montreal," Iginla said. "We know theyve won their series and theyre going to be next, but the only talk today was about thinking about Detroit and getting this series over." The Bruins won it all in 2011 and returned to the Stanley Cup finals last year before they were eliminated when the Chicago Blackhawks scored two goals in 17 seconds in the final 76 seconds of Game 6. Boston seems on its way for another long playoff run this year, finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL. "We were playing a very good team, a team with a lot of experience, the President Trophy winners," Detroit forward Daniel Alfredsson said. "This is a team that was just playing better than us and we feel a little short." The Bruins scored a power-play goal 3:27 into the first period when Dougie Hamiltons pass bounced off a defenders skate to Eriksson in the slot. Rask earned an assist on the play -- his second career playoff point. It stayed that way until Datsyuk came in and scooped up a rebound 12 seconds into a second-period power play against Lucic for high-sticking.
