Duran kicked off the scoring with a two-run shot to left-center field against Rays starter Ryan Pepiot in the second inning. It was his first big fly of the season. He also walked twice and collected his sixth theft of the year.

Duran will get a day off Saturday against left-hander Martin Perez and the White Sox. The Red Sox will instead have Romy Gonzalez lead off and play first base, with Rob Refsnyder playing left field. Duran should be back Sunday.

Duran drew a one-out walk off of Chris Bassitt in the sixth inning, swiped second base and scored the game’s first run on a two-out RBI single by Alex Bregman. He then delivered a clutch RBI single off of Nick Sandlin to open the 10th inning that tied the game at 3-3, though he was cut down trying to steal second base that time. Duran is off to another strong start at the dish, slashing .250/.313/.333 with zero homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases through 14 ballgames.

He also had a flyout to left that likely would have been a homer at Fenway. Duran is 6-for-21 with a couple of steals, so he’s not the source of Boston’s slow start. That he’s yet to score a run says a lot about how the likes of Rafael Devers, Alex Bregman and Triston Casas are performing.
