Morning sports update: Brad Marchand thinks the round-robin competition was ‘preseason’

The Red Sox lost to the Rays 8-7 on Monday night. J.D. Martinez hit his first home run of the season.

Tuesday provides back-to-back games for Boston fans to enjoy. At 5 p.m., the Celtics face the Grizzlies. Then at 8 p.m., the Bruins and Hurricanes get underway in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

Brad Marchand’s thoughts on the round-robin: The Bruins played their first meaningful games since the NHL resumed its season. In a round-robin to determine playoff seeding, Boston went 0-3, dropping from the top seed in the Eastern Conference down to fourth.
