Boston completed a rainy doubleheader sweep of the Cubs with a 2-0 shutout. Brayan Bello threw four scoreless innings before rookie Jedixson Páez added five; Wilyer Abreu’s two-run double in the eighth broke the deadlock.
Boston had only four hits in the game, with Abreu’s double providing all the scoring. The Red Sox had wanted to spare their bullpen before the final regular-season game; Páez’s five innings helped, and Boston was headed to Tropicana Field to close out the 2026 regular season.
