Wood sets record against Brewers\nKerry Wood tied a major league record with four strikeouts in one inning Monday, doing it in the fourth inning of the second game in a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers.\nAfter Matt Stairs grounded out to start the inning, Wood struck out Jose Hernandez. But catcher Todd Hundley's throw to first was way off and Hernandez got all the way to third on the error. Ryan Thompson followed with a swinging strikeout.\nPaul Bako struck out, but reached base when Wood's wild pitch skipped in the dirt and away from Hundley. Pitcher Andrew Lorraine then struck out swinging to end the inning.\nWood is the third Cubs pitcher to strike out four in one inning. Jim Davis did it in St. Louis on May 27, 1956, and Bill Bonham did it against Montreal on July 31, 1974.\nSchumacher wins in U.S. Nationals\nTony Schumacher raced to his second Top Fuel victory of the season Monday in the NHRA's U.S. Nationals.Schumacher also claimed his second career trophy in the world's most prestigious drag race by defeating season-long dominator Larry Dixon in the final round.
