Jarren William Duran, outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, seemed to lose his cool on Tuesday night, August 19, 2025, at Fenway Park in Boston. Right after striking out with the bases loaded against the Baltimore Orioles, he appeared to yell, “F* you, p*y,” at a heckling fan while walking back to the dugout.
The Red Sox went on to lose the game 4-3 in 11 innings, and neither Duran nor the team commented after the match.
Jarren Duran yells foul words at fan after strikeout at Fenway Park
Jarren Duran struck out swinging on three pitches from Orioles reliever Rico Garcia during the bottom of the eighth inning. As he headed to the dugout, a fan’s taunt triggered a sharp response from Duran. Video from the broadcast shows him shouting the curse words.
This isn’t Duran’s first clash with fans. Last year, on August 11, 2024, he used a homophobic slur during a game against the Houston Astros.
That resulted in a two-game suspension, and the Red Sox donated his pay for those games to PFLAG, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group.
Jarren Duran’s past clashes with fans and suspension history
This isn’t the only incident this season. Back on April 27, 2025, during a game at Progressive Field against the Cleveland Guardians, a fan made an inappropriate comment referencing Duran’s past suicide attempt, which he had publicly shared in the Netflix documentary The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox.
Security and umpires intervened, and the fan was ejected. The Guardian issued an apology afterwards.

In the series, he revealed a 2022 suicide attempt. Despite the backlash in Cleveland, he bounced back that series, going 7 for 15 with three RBIs, showing both his resilience and talent.
