Red Sox sweep twin bill vs. Cubs to end regular-season play at Fenway on high note

The Boston Red Sox wrapped up their home slate ahead of schedule by sweeping a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs, finishing the nightcap with a 2-0 shutout. Wilyer Abreu drove in the game's only runs with an eighth-inning double off the Green Monster, while starting pitcher Brayan Bello contributed four scoreless frames in his final tune-up.

The day's opening 4-3 triumph secured the American League's fifth seed for Boston, setting up a postseason rematch with the New York Yankees. Due to an approaching nor'easter, the final game of the series will be relocated to Tropicana Field in St.

Petersburg on Sunday.
