Kerry Wood strikes out 20 in 1998: Game thread

On May 6, 1998, a rainy Wednesday in Chicago, Kerry Wood struck out 20 Astros in his fifth MLB start.

Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. CT, MLB Network is rebroadcasting this game. The MLBN timeslot is just two hours, but the game itself ran 2:19, so likely not too much of it will be condensed.

By request, I’m setting up this thread so that you can comment as if the game were being televised live. It’ll give a game thread experience on this Cubs off day.

Wood’s Game Score that day was 105.
