The year of Jarren Duran continued on Tuesday night, as the Boston Red Sox outfielder won the All-Star Game MVP after belting a two-run, go-ahead home run in the fifth inning of the American's Leagues 5-3 win.

This comes after Duran lit it up during the first half of the season, hitting .284 with an .820 OPS, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs and 22 stolen bases. He also leads the league in doubles (27) and triples (10).

After the game concluded, Duran celebrated with his family and spoke to FOX's Kevin Burkhart about the moment, and it was incredible.

It's been amazing to watch Duran blossom, especially considering the battles that he's gone through, and it's clear how just how important his family is to him.
