Duran\u2019s heater at the plate stayed white-hot: he extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a stretch during which he\u2019s batting .458 (22-for-48) with seven extra-base hits, nine RBIs, and 11 runs scored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"865\" data-start=\"799\">It should have been a day defined purely by baseball. It wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-end=\"916\" data-start=\"867\">Duran Confronts Heckler<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1346\" data-start=\"918\">Before the bottom of the seventh inning, the mood shifted. As Duran was gearing up to take the field, a Guardians fan in the stands crossed the line from chirping to outright cruelty. According to the Guardians\u2019 broadcast, the fan taunted Duran about the suicide attempt he revealed during Netflix\u2019s <em data-end=\"1258\" data-start=\"1218\">The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox<\/em>, where Duran openly spoke about the mental health battles that nearly ended his life. Fans on social media immediately took notice.<\/p>\n<div id=\"3668946613f278ef2e7358c163cb80ed\">\n<div>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chirping Jarren Duran about his suicide attempt is exactly why men are afraid to be opening and vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Thats not something to use as ammo. We need to be better.<\/p>\n<p>That type of behavior from the fan is what is killing people.<\/p>\n<p>Mental health matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1710\" data-start=\"1348\">Duran, who has divulged previously that opening up about his mental health was \u201cthe hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d didn\u2019t stay silent this time either. He confronted the heckler in the stands, standing his ground as security and umpires quickly intervened. The fan was removed from the stadium after nearby spectators \u2014 visibly disgusted \u2014 pointed him out to officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"1850\" data-start=\"1712\">Despite the incident, Duran stayed locked in. In the top of the ninth, he ripped an RBI double to punctuate a dominant day at the plate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-end=\"2123\" data-start=\"1852\">The win pushed Boston\u2019s record to 16\u201314, and maybe even more importantly, it showed again that Duran\u2019s growth is bigger than baseball. \u201cI realized I needed to speak my truth,\u201d Duran said previously. On Sunday, he played it \u2014 and lived it \u2014 in full view of everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Jay Pritchard covers Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and sports media for Heavy.com.
