Jarren Duran of the Red Sox displayed remarkable speed and bold base running during a doubleheader against the Guardians. In a daring move, he successfully executed a straight steal of home plate in the third inning while the pitcher was focused on the mound. Duran's aggressive approach, paired with a strong offensive performance, where he went 3 for 5, scored three runs, and collected two RBIs, contributed significantly to his team. Notably, this was the first straight steal of home by a Red Sox player since 2009.
"It was kind of crazy that he gave me the windup ... as soon as he moved on it I was going, I wasn't going to give it another chance for him to go from the stretch."
"He hits the ball out of the ballpark, he runs fast, and he's an exciting player. He's going to take chances. We saw a window there, and he took advantage of the situation."
