Red Sox 2, Cubs 0: Third wild card, anyone?

This time, the Cubs went just 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position — but that's because they didn't really have many RISP. All the Cubs' seven hits on the night were singles. The top run-scoring offense in MLB has looked almost completely impotent over the last five games, scoring a total of nine runs, losing four of them.

The Cubs didn't have anyone past first base until the top of the fifth. In that inning, Nico Hoerner led off with a single and two outs later, Matt Shaw singled Nico to third. But that was that when Pete Cros-Armstrong grounded out.

Meanwhile, David Peterson was throwing well over the first five innings. He got some defensive help from Shaw in the fourth [VIDEO].
