Jarren Duran played a pivotal role in the Boston Red Sox's 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Duran hit a 427-foot home run to tie the game at 2-2, marking his third home run of the season.

This performance made Duran the third Red Sox player in the expansion era to homer and steal home in the same game, joining Mike Napoli in 2014 and Rico Petrocelli in 1967. Additionally, the Red Sox stole three bases in the top of the eighth inning, highlighted by Duran's steal of home, scoring two runs to secure the win. Duran's steal of home was the first by a Red Sox player since Travis Shaw in 2016, also against the Rays.
