Red Sox Jarren Duran Denies Fan Altercation, Testy Exchange With Reporters originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Unfortunately for Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, it has become a trend during his career for lame fans to hurl insults his way from the safety of the stands.
On Saturday, Duran and interim manager Chad Tracy teamed up with a Fenway Park security guard to get an unruly fan removed during the eighth inning of Boston's third-straight win over the New York Yankees.
Tracy confirmed that the fan had been removed for "chirping for a few innings and chirping toward Jarren again."
However, Duran had no part in discussing the incident when reporters asked him about it after the game. Greg Dudek of the Boston Herald chronicled Duran's testy response.
Reporter: "Jarren, obviously, there was that exchange with the fan."
Duran: “Nothing happened.”
Reporter: “Tracy was saying…”
Duran: “Nothing happened.”
Reporter: “You guys were…”
Duran: “Nothing happened.”
Reporter (continuing previous question): “Frustrated over something chirping-wise?”
Duran: “Nope. Nothing happened”
Duran has famously had a few interactions with fans in the past that undoubtedly play a part in the rambunctious spectators targeting the 29-year-old when they feel like getting kicked out of a game.
Dudek also claimed that Duran spoke to reporters for "less than 30 seconds."
Duran is still the everyday starter in left field, but his June hitting slump came to a head Saturday against the Yankees when he went 0-4 after registering a hit in each of the first two games of the series.
Duran is now 13-88 in June, with 30 strikeouts and only three extra base hits.
Compare this to May, when Duran caught fire and batted .261 on the month, ending with at least one hit in 12 of the final 14 games.
