Red Sox' Jarren Duran Makes History with Unprecedented Home Plate Theft Twice in One Game

Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran made history on Friday, June 8, 2024, by stealing home plate twice in one game against the Chicago White Sox. This feat marks the first time a Red Sox player has accomplished this in a single season since 1974.

The unusual sequence of events began during the third inning when Duran hit a chopper towards White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet. As Duran sensed it would be a close play at first base, he attempted to take advantage of Chicago's confusion and dashed for home plate as Crochet stepped off the mound to appeal that Duran had missed first base.

The White Sox disputed the ruling, leading to a pick-off attempt at first base. However, during this commotion, Duran managed to steal home once again. The umpires ruled in favor of Boston on both occasions.

This bizarre play not only provided excitement for Red Sox fans but also helped their team secure a much-needed win against the struggling White Sox, who have lost 14 games in a row.

Duran's impressive performance at the plate and on the bases has been consistent throughout this season. He currently leads MLB in triples with nine and has 44 stolen bases overall in his short career. His combination of hitting consistency and speed allows him to slot comfortably into the top of Boston's lineup, where he's stayed all season.

The Red Sox aim to continue their winning streak against Chicago on Saturday, June 9, as they face the White Sox's top starting pitcher. Fans can catch the game on NESN.

    The author describes an unusual play during a baseball game where Jarren Duran of the Red Sox scored a run despite missing first base. The White Sox attempted to appeal the missed base but were unable to do so due to running out of time for video replay. The Red Sox took advantage of this situation and scored what was ruled as a stolen home run. This play can be considered an example of a 'Misrepresentation' or 'Deception' fallacy, as the author describes the event as a stolen home run when in fact Duran missed first base and should have been out. However, since this is not an intentional misrepresentation by the author and is instead a description of events that occurred during the game, it cannot be considered a formal fallacy. The score reflects this deduction.
    • The Red Sox took advantage of this situation and scored what was ruled as a stolen home run.
