Jarren Duran Takes Blame for Red Sox's Loss to Yankees, It's '100% on Me' After Drop

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran took responsibility for the team's Game 2 loss to the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series.

"I know the game is 100 percent on me," Duran told reporters after Wednesday's defeat (0:35 mark). "If I make that play, Trevor hits the homer, we take the lead. But I messed it up, gave them momentum and things just happened from there. That one's on me, I'm gonna have to wear that one."

With two outs and a runner on second base in the bottom of the fifth inning, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit a fly ball to Duran in left field. While Duran came charging in and dove for the ball, he couldn't make the catch and New York scored a go-ahead run.

The play gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead and they eventually held on for a 4-3 victory.

After New York pulled ahead in the fifth, Boston tied the game once again with a solo home run by Trevor Story in the top of the sixth inning.

New York jumped back in front in the bottom of the eighth, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored from first base on a two-out single from Austin Wells.

Duran finished 1-for-3 with a strikeout.

The Red Sox entered Wednesday's action with a 1-0 series lead after emerging victorious on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, but New York was able to force a decisive Game 3 partly due to Duran's drop.
