Jarren Duran's Big Night Propels Boston Red Sox to a Series Win in Kansas City
It was a massive night for the outfielder, both at the plate and in the field, as the Red Sox secured a series win over the Royals.
It was an offensive onslaught for the Boston Red Sox , who improved to 21-27 on the season with a 7-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. Boston was powered by left fielder Jarren Duran, who made his mark on the game both at the plate and in the field. Duran has been one of the most disappointing players, not only on the Red Sox, but across all of baseball.
The 29-year-old outfielder entered play on Tuesday hitting . 181/. 247/.
301, with a weighted runs created+ (wRC+) of 50 that ranked the sixth worst among qualified hitters. Make that a perfect 10/10 for Jarren Duran in stolen base attempts this season. pic.
