The 27-year-old Jarren Duran is enjoying a breakout season that resulted in his first MLB All-Star Game selection last month. But on Sunday, failed to maintain his composure while dealing with a heckling fan.
Duran was batting in the bottom of the sixth inning, with the Red Sox trailing 10-0 at home to the Houston Astros. Between pitches, a fan can be heard yelling at Duran that he needs to get “a tennis racket.”
Duran ignores the first couple of heckles but finally snaps, turning back to the fan and yelling “Shut up you f**king fa***t.” The interaction can be heard below, but do be warned that it contains a homophobic slur and expletives:
