Wilyer Abreu homered twice and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 to avoid a series sweep.

When really all he wanted to do was advance a runner, attempting a bunt on the first pitch he saw in the seventh inning of Sunday’s series finale against the Cubs, Abreu quickly changed gears, swinging away after Trevor Story led off the inning with a walk.

Wilyer Abreu hit a pair of home runs and Garrett Crochet threw six quality innings to help the visiting Boston Red Sox earn a 6-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
