With the word "Boston" in the place of "Red Sox" on their uniforms and and a "Boston Strong" logo printed on left center field, the Red Sox won an emotional 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The game against Kansas was postponed on Friday after Boston was placed on lockdown during the manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. A pregame ceremony began with a moment of silence and photos of the four victims killed by the Tsarnaev brothers shown on the board. "This is our f---ing city," said Red Sox player David Ortiz during a pregame address. "And no one is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."
