MLB fans united to show support for Red Sox star Jarren Duran after the latter was heckled during today's game against the Guardians. Around the contest's seventh inning, Duran was seen walking and pointing towards a section at Progressive Field. Duran was livid and had to be held back by umpires, players, and coaches before he was able to reach the fan.
It was then later reported that the fan spoke about Duran's publicized s*icide attempt that drew the ire of the Boston outfielder. The heckler would subsequently be removed from the game while the Guardians issued an apology on behalf of the rowdy individual that caused the commotion.
