⚾️On May 6, 1998 Cubs' rookie Kerry Wood ties a major league record when he strikes out 20 batters in 9 innings, limiting the Astros to one hit in Chicago’s 2-0 at Wrigley Field. In addition to matching Red Sox fireballer Roger Clemens' feat (Mariners-1986 and Tigers-1996), the 20 year-old Texan breaks the National League record of 19 strikeouts in a 9-inning game shared by Steve Carlton, David Cone, and Tom Seaver.⚾️ #KidK | Davenport Sports Network

⚾️On August 26, 1998 Chicago’s Sammy Sosa hits his 52nd home run of the year in the 3rd inning of the Cubs’ eventual 9-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. All eyes have been on Sosa as he chases Mark McGwire in their bid to surpass Roger Maris’ single-season home run record, but it’s Kerry Wood who steals the show today. Wood pitches 8 innings giving up just 3 hits while striking out 16 batters.⚾️ | Davenport Sports Network
