Sox apologize after Jarren Duran uses homophobic slur at fan
Below are all the available details about the 27-year-old outfielder's outburst and his subsequent admission of his actions.
During his team's game against the Houston Astros this past weekend, Jarren Duran used a homophobic slur while responding to a fan.
The heated exchange took place when the American athlete was batting in the sixth inning of the game. Duran was in his final attempt after having struck out two in a row at that point.

An angry Duran immediately responded by asking the fan to shut up before calling him a fa**ot.
