Wood (6-0) racked up eight strikeouts over five scoreless innings in Friday's 4-0 win over the Cubs, allowing just two hits and issuing two walks.
Wood worked up to 91 pitches, leading to a rather early exit, but was otherwise dominant once again. He notched 13 swinging strikes and actually recorded first-pitch strikes on 14 of 18 hitters, although he struggled some with control deeper into counts. Wood has now turned in four consecutive scoreless starts spanning 23.1 innings, lowering his ERA from 3.28 to 1.69 in the process. His scoreless streak is at a career-high 25.1 frames overall, which is also the longest in the majors this season. He'll look to keep on rolling versus the Cardinals in a road tilt next Wednesday.
