Duran was back at the home plate after two strikeouts when a nearby microphone picked him up yelling at a heckler in the crowd.
Live mics by the home plate picked up outfielder Jarren Duran shouting at a heckler during the sixth inning yesterday to “shut up,” going on to call them a “f---ing f----t.” The fan had been heard telling Duran he needed a “tennis racket,” having already suffered two strikeouts by that point in the game.
The Red Sox went on to lose 10-2, and the team says they were quick to bring Duran up on the comment after close of play. “During tonight’s game, I used a truly horrific word when responding to a fan,” the outfielder has since said. “I feel awful knowing how many people I offended and disappointed.”
