Jarren Duran's bold play on Saturday against the Guardians made history, marking him as the first Boston Red Sox player to steal home since Jacoby Ellsbury achieved the feat 16 years ago. Duran's steal came during a high-stakes moment in the second game of a doubleheader, where he contributed significantly to the Red Sox's 7-3 victory. With an impressive 3-for-5 performance, including a triple and two RBIs, he showcased his speed and instincts on the basepaths.

Manager Alex Cora praised Duran's decision to go during the pitcher's windup, noting that Duran had previously stolen home in the minors but this was his first straight steal at the major league level. The Red Sox capitalized on a moment of uncertainty from rookie pitcher Doug Nikhazy, who struggled with his command earlier in the game. Duran's aggressive play not only helped his team secure a win but also highlighted the Red Sox's determination to create chaos on the bases to maintain momentum.
