BOSTON -- Walker Buehler wasn't taking any chances with the early start.
Instead of getting up and figuring out what roads may have been closed along the Boston Marathon route, he took his family to a nearby hotel to get ready for his Monday morning start.
"I stayed at a hotel last night, just so that I kind of didn't have to worry too much about it," he said after Boston's 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in its annual Patriots' Day game.
"My wife and kids stayed with me and everything was kind of normal for us," he said.
