By JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI (AP) — Tim Anderson hit two of Chicago’s five solo homers, and the Chicago White Sox took another step toward the AL Central title by overpowering the Reds 5-0.

Chicago has won eight of its last 10 games, securing at least a wild card and its first postseason appearance since 2008.

José Abreu hit his fifth homer in eight games as the White Sox piled them up, including three in a row in the eighth.

The Reds had their season-high winning streak snapped at six games.
