Red Sox Honor Boston Marathon Victims

On Saturday April 20th, the Boston Red Sox played, and won for the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombings. This was the first home game since the two explosions. Before the Red Sox began their game against the Kansas City Royals, the team held a pregame ceremony. This event honored the 3 victims, the 170 wounded, and everyone else who was affected. The ceremony included videos of scenes from the race. Red Sox player, David Ortiz stood on the field and told everyone in the stadium to "stay strong." Later, after the successful win for the Red Sox, Ortiz also stated, "You give people hope. We wanted to let them know we're here for them." Daniel Nava hit a three-run homer in the eight inning giving the Red Sox a lead and a 4-3 victory.
