Red Sox speedster Jarren Duran is almost always aggressive on the base paths. Sometimes it costs him, and other times it works out beautifully.

On Sunday, in a spring training game against the Twins, Rafael Devers sent a deep fly ball to center field. Duran tagged up and was able to sprint all the way home and barely beat the throw with a head-first slide.

All he needed was a couple extra steps from center fielder Derek Fisher after the catch and a slightly off relay to fly all the way home.
