Cubs fall to Red Sox 2-0, face uncertain playoff positioning

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in the second game of a doubleheader on September 25 at Fenway Park. The Cubs struggled offensively, recording only seven singles and failing to score with runners in scoring position. David Peterson pitched five shutout innings for the Red Sox, while Wilyer Abreu's two-run double in the eighth secured the victory. This loss places the Cubs in a precarious position regarding their playoff spot, as they head to Florida for their next game against the Rays on September 27.
