On June 28, 1995 the Cubs traded catcher Rick Wilkins to the Astros. In return they received catcher Scott Servais and outfielder Luis Gonzalez.
It didn’t seem like that important of a trade at the time, but Gonzalez got hot right after the Cubs acquired him. In his first 34 games in a Cub uniform he hit .287/.373/.504 (33-for-115) with 10 doubles, three triples and three home runs.
And then came the opener of a three-game series against the Rockies in Colorado, and Gonzalez had himself a big night.
