**Jarren Duran Shines Despite Red Sox Loss**

Jarren Duran had a productive outing in the Red Sox's 7-5 defeat to the Rays, going 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, and two runs scored.

Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores a solid season for Duran, who now boasts a .272 batting average with increasing power numbers, evidenced by his two doubles and a homer in this game. His slugging contributions are particularly noteworthy given his prior focus on speed, which could hint at a developing power aspect in his game. Fantasy managers should take note of this shift, as increased extra-base hits could make Duran a more valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward slugging percentages and total bases. However, his lack of walks in this game continues a season-long trend, potentially capping his on-base percentage and runs scored potential.
