The rubber game will be Sunday at 1:40 p.m.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OV5EUB2OPBEQVL5F3ZKJ5PBSG4\">Duran took a lead almost halfway down the third base line before he took off and beat Nikhazy\u2019s throw to the plate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SH4ZPM5MDJG4DMXB357GVRXFJA\">\u201cI had to make up for Seattle because I was farther down the line in Seattle and I didn\u2019t go,\u201d Duran said. \u201cBut yeah, just to keep the offense going and cause a little chaos and keep the momentum on our side was a big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"H7LSPWEBPVE4DJP5XUWIVZKQMU\">Duran stole home twice last year but neither were straight steals. He confirmed he last stole home straight up in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n<p id=\"T3YKVCPTSVDHDMSYZDG5745U6U\">\u201cHis decision,\u201d manager Alex Cora said. \u201cThe guy went from the windup and (third baseman Jos\u00e9) Ram\u00edrez was playing deep. He\u2019s done it before in the minor leagues. So he saw it and he took off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"CRMVFOIYJBCOVPG2FFWGORPJLQ\">Cora said the Red Sox also saw Nikhazy go from the windup with runners on base earlier in the game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"72OZKNVUXFFSZDQPL6TCOTJLZY\">\u201cI think it was the previous inning when he was struggling with command,\u201d Cora said. \u201cThere were bases loaded. He was going from the stretch and then he went from the windup. And we noticed it. And right there he declared to go from the windup and (Duran) took off.\u201d<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Boston Red Sox\u2019 \u2018big, strong\u2019 18-year-old prospect belts two 110 mph homers<\/li>\n<li>Boston Red Sox\u2019 \u2018Big guy\u2019 was \u2018the umpire\u2019 on Jarren Duran\u2019s steal of home<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox reactions: Speedster steals home exactly 16 years after Jacoby Ellsbury did it<\/li>\n<li>Boston Red Sox\u2019 Jarren Duran steals home<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox slugger\u2019s 0-for-17 slump a microcosm of Boston\u2019s streaky offense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
