- Outfielder responds to heckling fan after strikeouts
- Player says he feels ‘awful’ about use of word
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran apologized for directing a homophobic slur at a heckling fan during Sunday’s 10-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
The exchange caught on a live mic during the broadcast of the game occurred when Duran – who was 0 for 2 with two strikeouts at that point in the game – was at the plate in the sixth inning.
