BOSTON — Boston beat Tampa Bay on an RBI double by Mike Napoli in the ninth inning in Boston’s traditional Patriots’ Day morning game. The game began at 11:05 a.m. and ended at about 10 minutes after 2 p.m. A little less than an hour after that, about a mile away, the explosions from Copley Square could be heard by those in and around Fenway — but not in the clubhouses where the teams were getting ready to leave.
