ARLINGTON — So many all-time greats have played for the Red Sox, a franchise rich in century-old history. Yet, the group of players who have won the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet — an honor first awarded in 1962 and then renamed in honor of a Boston legend in 2002 — is quite exclusive.
It features a pair of Hall of Famers — 18-time All-Star outfielder Carl Yastrzemski (1970) and eight-time All-Star right-hander Pedro Martinez (‘99) — as well as 11-time All-Star right-hander Roger Clemens (‘86) and outfielder J.D. Drew (2008).
On Tuesday night, Jarren Duran became the fifth.

- Duran etched his name in the Midsummer Classic record books, seizing MVP honors with a go-ahead two-run homer that lifted the American League to a 5-3 win in the 94th edition of the All-Star Game at Globe Life Field. The Statcast-projected 413-foot blast in the fifth inning came in the 27-year-old outfielder’s first career ASG plate appearance.
