Manager Makes Duran Statement
After the game, manager Chad Tracy was asked for his thoughts on Duran’s recent play (via NESN).
Duran: “Heck of a month, heck of a month. I know he got off to a very slow start; as did a lot of guys… It is a long season. You have to have faith that what you’ve seen in the past and the damage this guy can do, it’s gonna show up eventually. He’s been really, really good this month.”

Duran is now batting .219 with 47 hits, 10 home runs, 33 RBI’s, 29 runs and 10 stolen bases in 53 games this season.
He is in his sixth season (all with the Red Sox).

@DKSports: “Jarren Duran had himself a month 😤 He hit 7 more home runs, had 11 more RBI and his OPS was nearly .400 points higher in May compared to April”
@NDiamondMedia: “Jarren Duran in the month of May: 29 H, .261/.333/.532, 8 HR, 5 SB, 19 RBI He’s been on fire ever since Roman Anthony went down on May 4 and has really benefited from the chance to bat leadoff and play every day.”
