Chicago Cubs Look to Complete Series Sweep Against Boston Red Sox

On July 20, 2025, the Chicago Cubs are aiming to complete a series sweep against the Boston Red Sox in their three-game set at Wrigley Field. After securing victories in the first two games, the Cubs are in prime position to take all three games and extend their recent dominance.

Pitching Matchup: Cade Horton vs. Garrett Crochet

The Cubs will send rookie pitcher Cade Horton to the mound for the final game of the series. Horton, who has impressed with a 2.54 ERA at home this season, has become a key player in the Cubs’ pitching rotation. The right-hander will be looking to continue his strong form and help his team achieve a much-needed sweep against one of the American League’s most historic teams.

On the opposing side, the Red Sox will counter with Garrett Crochet, who has been one of the standout pitchers in the American League this year. Crochet leads the league in several pitching categories, including strikeouts and ERA, and he will be looking to deliver a strong performance to help his team avoid a sweep.

Cubs’ Hot Streak: Can They Keep It Going?

The Cubs have been on a hot streak, winning four of their last five games. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, with key players like Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki contributing to the team’s success. A win in this series finale would not only extend their streak but also set a new season-high five-game winning streak, giving them much-needed momentum as they head into the latter half of the season.

Game Details and Broadcast Information

The game is set to begin at 1:20 PM CT at Wrigley Field and will be broadcast on Marquee Sports Network. Cubs fans will be hoping for a thrilling finish to what has been an exciting series, while Red Sox fans are eager for their team to bounce back and avoid falling to a third straight loss.
