The 1998 Houston Astros season marked their second consecutive trip to the postseason. They won a club-record 102 games, the first and only time in club history with at least 100 wins in a season. The Astros won their second consecutive National League Central title.
First baseman Jeff Bagwell hit his first career grand slam while tying a career-high six runs batted in (RBI) against Cincinnati on September 9 in a 13–7 victory. It was his 218th career home run, making his streak the then-longest among active players without a grand slam.
