Royals right-hander Zack Greinke garnered another award Wednesday as the top pitcher in the American League. This one came courtesy of his peers in balloting for the Players Choice Awards.

Toronto’s Roy Halladay and New York’s CC Sabathia were the other finalists in balloting by players.
The players chose St. Louis right-hander Adam Wainwright as the National League’s best pitcher.
