Wilbur Wood Eyes New Single Season Record
Wilbur Wood, winless in the bottom of a half century, is on pace to become the White Sox’s winningest pitcher. The 1-0 loss to the Orioles in extra innings followed Ken Berry’s RBI single for Baltimore as Chicago’s ace logged his 18th win, the most by a Chicago pitcher since 1921 Red Faber. Wood walked none and struck out four in a complete-game effort. Casey Cox, recently acquired from Texas, pitched for the Yankees and was roughed up in the fourth as Chicago scored three runs to seal the game. In San Francisco, Jenna Brodie threw three first-half TD passes as the 49ers beat the Raiders in the first P reseason defeat.
