Red Sox Win In Emotional Return To Fenway

Jim Rogash/Getty Images(BOSTON) --  On the day they honored the victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Red Sox rallied late to defeat the Kansas City Royals 4-3.

Daniel Nava belted a three-run home run in the eighth inning for the Red Sox (12-4) who are off to their best start in 11 years.

Slugger David Ortiz was in the lineup for the first time this season after missing time with a right Achilles injury.

"I think today was different because we haven't been through what we've been through this past week," Ortiz said. "Driving around and looking around at people's faces, it was a very emotional day here just looking at those guys that were injured by those bombs going off and watching the news nearly every day, it was painful, very painful. Today I could see people opening their chest and letting it go."

Clay Buchholz (4-0) allowed eight hits and struck out six in eight innings of work.  Andrew Bailey closed the game out for his third save.

The Red Sox wore white home jerseys with "Boston" on the front instead of the customary "Red Sox." The shirts will be auctioned off for a fund to support victims of the bombings.

Report: Mariano Rivera to Retire Following 2013 Season

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images(JUPITER, Fla.) -- New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is expected to announce on Saturday that he will retire at the end of the upcoming season, according to ESPN. A news conference is planned for 10 a.m. Eastern at the Yankees’ spring training camp in Tampa, Florida.

The 12-time All-Star played in just nine games in 2012 before tearing the ACL in his right knee. He suffered the injury last May while shagging fly balls in the outfield during warm-ups before a game in Kansas City.

In his 18-year Major League career, the 43-year-old Rivera has 608 saves along with a 2.21 ERA. He has won five World Series championships during his time with the Bronx Bombers.
