Now that the suspect who at large in Boston all day has been taken into custody, sports in the city can get back to normal. The Red Sox and the Bruins canceled their scheduled games for Friday night knowing full well that law enforcement would not be available for their contests.
So now that the Dzhokar Tsarnaev is off the streets, both the Red Sox and the Bruins will be back in action on Saturday. MLB Network will pick up the Kansas City-Red Sox game at 1 p.m. ET. The network was originally scheduled to pick up the game on Friday, but with the postponement, it will carry Saturday’s game.
Here’s the blurb from MLB Network.
MLB NETWORK SCHEDULED TO TELEVISE TOMORROW’S KANSAS CITY ROYALS AT BOSTON RED SOX GAME AT 1:00 P.M. ET

Secaucus, N.J., April 19, 2013 – MLB Network is scheduled to televise tomorrow’s Kansas City Royals at Boston Red Sox game at 1:00 p.m. ET, live from Fenway Park.
