Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran said he \"fell far short\" after directing an anti-gay slur toward a fan during Sunday\'s 10-2 home loss to the Houston Astros.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, in between pitches with the count 1-2 and Duran 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, a fan behind home plate could be heard shouting, \"Tennis racket! Tennis racket! You need a tennis racket!\"
Duran looked at the fan and could be heard on the game telecast saying, \"Shut up you f---ing f----t.\"
