Fan Ejected For Taunting Red Sox’s Jarren Duran After He Revealed Suicide Attempt In New Documentary

During the Red Sox’s 13-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians, outfielder Jarren Duran revealed that a fan said “something inappropriate” to him, leading to the fan being thrown out of the game.

Durran has found plenty of support after revealing in a Netflix documentary that he attempted suicide three years ago. The fans’ comment was likely targeting Duran’s mental health.

Red Sox coaches and teammates kept Duran away from the area where the fan was as security personnel gathered to handle the situation. The fan, despite running, was caught by security and escorted out of the game.

“I have a good support staff around me,” Duran said. “Teammates, coaches. There were fans supporting me, so that was awesome.”

Boston manager Alex Cora was proud of Duran’s restraint. Last season, Duran was suspended for two games after responding to a heckling fan by using an anti-gay slur.

“We made a mistake last year, and we learned from it,” Cora said.

Despite the incident with the fan, Duran played both a great game and series. He finished on Sunday with four hits in six at-bats. He has seven hits over the past two games.

Duran also had Boston’s first straight home plate steal in 16 years.

“I’m trying to stay with my process, and it just happened to work good for me this series,” Duran said.
