Zack Kelly backs up Jarren Duran’s All-Star bid with pointed message

Jarren Duran has been on a roll for the red-hot Red Sox.

The spark at the top of Boston’s lineup, the 27-year-old outfielder is currently slashing .293/.355/.488 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, 20 steals, an AL-best 23 doubles, and a league-leading 10 triples.

Duran, who delivered a walk-off hit to lift Boston past the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night, is now in the midst of a 14-game hit streak — batting .419 over that stretch with nine extra-base hits and 16 runs scored.

But even though Duran currently ranks fourth in MLB in WAR (behind only Gunnar Henderson, Aaron Judge, and Shohei Ohtani), his breakout season has not led to much recognition as far as All-Star consideration.
