Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran’s night started out pretty poorly. He finished it off by contributing to a slump-breaking victory. FOX13
After striking out twice and misplaying a line drive into a triple, Duran homered, singled in a run and stole a base to help Boston snap a four-game losing streak by beating the"It’s baseball. I punched out the first two at bats and I was like, ‘I’ve got to flush it,’" said Duran, who is batting .351 and already matched his career high of three home runs. "Just pick up my boys and just think about the guys. Like, it’s not all about me.
Masataka Yoshida doubled, tripled, scored on a wild pitch and drove in three runs for Boston. Justin Turner and Triston Casas also homered for the Red Sox, who were swept by the last-place St. Louis Cardinals and lost the series opener to Seattle.Taylor Trammell homered for Seattle, which had won three out of four and 10 of 14 since starting the season 11-16. Luis Castillo allowed seven runs — five earned — on six hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings.
Yoshida tripled and Turner and Casas homered in Boston’s four-run first. But Seattle tied it in the fourth, thanks in part to Teoscar Hernandez’s sinking liner to center that Duran dove for and missed; the ball rolled past him toward the wall. "He’s trying to make a baseball play. I’d rather have that than lack of effort," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "He’s in a great place. He’s going to make mistakes, but overall his game has been a plus everywhere."
Trammell followed with a two-run homer to make it 4-4. Alex Verdugo doubled leading off the bottom of the fifth, and Yoshida’s one-bounce, ground-rule double in the right field corner broke the tie. The Japanese left fielder took third on a flyout and scored on Castillo’s wild pitch before Duran homered for a 7-4 lead."He’s a game-changer," Turner said. "He’s got power. He’s got speed. He uses the whole field and plays great defense in the center.
