Jarren Duran gave the Red Sox a much-needed lead over the Pirates on Sunday afternoon thanks to a lightning-quick fifth-inning inside-the-park home run.
With Carlos Narváez on third base and Alex Bregman on first, and with the game tied 1-1, the 28-year-old ripped one between outfielders Oneil Cruz and Alexander Canario and into Fenway Park's dreaded center field triangle. The hit not only cleared the bases, but Duran—one of the faster players in baseball—was able to score himself and give Boston a 4-1 lead.

After winning seven of eight on their most recent road trip, Boston had lost two-straight games against the Pirates heading into Sunday. Now holding a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh, they'll look to avoid a sweep and stay in contention in the American League wild-card race.
