Manager Makes Jarren Duran Statement

After the game, manager Chad Tracy was asked for his thoughts on Duran’s recent play (via NESN).
Duran: “Heck of a month, heck of a month. I know he got off to a very slow start; as did a lot of guys… It is a long season. You have to have faith that what you’ve seen in the past and the damage this guy can do, it’s gonna show up eventually. He’s been really, really good this month.”
Duran is now batting .219 with 47 hits, 10 home runs, 33 RBI’s, 29 runs and 10 stolen bases in 53 games this season.
He is in his sixth season (all with the Red Sox).
