Boston beat Detroit 5-4 at Comerica Park as Duran went 3-for-4 and Payton Tolle allowed one hit over seven innings for his first major-league win.
The 381-foot opposite-field shot erased a 2-0 deficit in the seventh after Ty Madden had kept Boston scoreless through five and Detroit's bullpen faltered.
