The Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Royals in Kansas City with a 4-3 win. Jarren Duran drove the outcome by hitting a triple and a home run while also making two standout defensive plays. After the game, Duran described an aggressive mindset focused on helping his pitchers, saying he is willing to get hurt to make plays. He credited his defensive effort to supporting Boston starter Connelly Early, who earned the win after 6.1 innings, allowing three runs and striking out five. Boston improved to 22-27 and moved out of last place in the American League East. Duran emphasized that even when scoring is limited, defense can provide support for the pitching staff.
""I was either going through the wall, or I make a play," he said on Wednesday night. "So I was able to make a play for [Early]." The Red Sox defeated the Royals 4-3 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep. On Friday, the Red Sox return home to begin a three-game series against the Twins at 7:10 p.m."
