Duran sparked a clash over inappropriate fan remarks The Guardians apologized and ejected those involved

Jarren Duran's fiery weekend was overshadowed on Sunday US time as the outfielder clashed over inappropriate comments from fans in the stands during the seven-game Red Sox's 13-3 win over the Guardians.

The incident occurred after the Red Sox scored a three-pointer in the seventh inning. As Duran hit a fly ball back to the rest area, a fan made remarks about his suicide attempt in 2022. Duran revealed after the game that the remarks were a reference to his mental health struggles that were made public in the eight-episode documentary "Club: Walking with the Red Sox," which aired this year.

After first-base referee Stu Scheurwater informed him that the matter would be taken care of, Duran stood at the top of the lounge area and glared at the fan. At the end of the half-game with a strikeout on Rafael Devers in the seventh set, Duran went straight to the audience.

"He made inappropriate remarks, and thankfully the security was able to deal with it in a timely manner," Duran said after the game, "and the security personnel were aware of the problem and took action." "

Official Statement from the Guardians:
"We have come to our attention at today's game where a fan violated the rules of the game. We take such egregious words and deeds very seriously and apologize to the Red Sox, the players involved and the surrounding fans. Once the identity of those involved is confirmed, next steps will be negotiated with MLB. We are committed to providing the best possible experience for our players and fans and we were not able to do so today. "

During the clash, the Red Sox coaching staff and Shoalwater tried to stop Duran before Ceddanne Rafaela pulled him back. Most of the Red Sox rushed into the stadium in solidarity, and the Progressive stadium crowd identified the fan involved, who fled their seats in a panic.

"I was in the corner of the lounge area, and security was well handled," said Alex Cora, Red Sox coach. The head coach also referred to Duran's two-game ban last year for using homophobic remarks against fans: "It's a two-way street. Last year we made mistakes and learned from them, and Duran grew into a better individual, but we also need to be clear about the bottom line. "

In the documentary, Duran confessed that he tried to commit suicide in 2021-2022 when he was deeply depressed. Now an All-Star and the core of his playline, he is still an advocate for mental health: "Opening up means exposing weaknesses, but it's great that I have a great support team and teammates. Duran said it was the first time such an attack had been encountered since the documentary aired.

In terms of game performance, Duran hit 6 hits and 4 hits on Sunday, including 1 hit on second base, setting a record for the first time in a single game this season. Saturday's second game of the doubles was marked by a home run theft.
