The Red Sox official website has reported that the Boston Red Sox, following suit with the Boston Bruins game postponement, have postponed their game with the Kansas City Royals Friday night at Fenway Park in the wake of a lockdown and massive manhunt in Watertown, a suburb of Boston, as police and federal authorities conduct a door to door search for the remaining alleged Boston Marathon bomber.

The postponement comes in the aftermath of Thursday’s release of photos and identification of the two alleged Boston Marathon bombers by Boston police that resulted in a robbery, car jacking, death of an MIT campus police officer and the death of one of the alleged bombers.
