COMMENTARY
Jarren Duran didn’t hit into a double play for more than three months to begin the 2024 season, whizzing around the field and embedding himself in the attention of anyone paying attention to his Red Sox.
He was their engine, and also their embodiment. Prone to take your breath away or leave you sighing via . . . youthful stupidity, stressing on-field misplays as well as ones just outside the batter’s box.
On Sunday at Yankee Stadium, Duran hit into two double plays in three innings, the last a final squander in four games festooned with them.
