A week after clinching at Trop, Red Sox lose home finale — at Trop

The Boston Red Sox concluded their regular season with a 6-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Tropicana Field on Sunday. The game was relocated from Fenway Park to St. Petersburg due to a nor'easter bringing severe weather to the East Coast. Serving as the home team, Boston finished the regular season with an 87-75 record.

Cubs designated hitter Alex Bregman led Chicago's offense by going 4-for-4 with two home runs and four RBIs, while Adley Rutschman hit a first-inning solo homer for Boston. Following the defeat, manager Chad Tracy and the Red Sox prepared to travel to face the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series.
