The Boston Red Sox cast aside the Jarren Duran slur and suspension spectacle with a 5–4 extra-inning walk off win over the Texas Rangers on Monday.

MLB and the Red Sox suspended Duran two games because of his LGBTQ-related cursing at a heckling fan during an at-bat against the Houston Astros on Sunday. Duran apologized in an official statement afterward.
