Impact Duran struck out twice in his first two at-bats then sold out for a sinking hit from Teoscar Hernandez that got behind him to plate the Mariners' first two runs. The Duran of 2021 and 2022 might let those plays fester and impact him the rest of the game, but the 2023 version of the outfielder flushes the adverse outcomes and moves on. The player who slashed a combined .219/.269/.354 the previous two seasons is batting .351/.406/.585 in 2023.
