Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Athletics.

Duran's two-run shot in the ninth inning provided insurance and allowed manager Bruce Bochy to avoid using closer Will Smith, who's worked a lot this week. It was Duran's fifth homer in 32 games, equaling the number he hit last season over 58 games. He's been starting at shortstop for the injured Corey Seager (hamstring), but the latter played in his third rehab game Saturday and could return as soon as Monday. That means Bochy will have to find a spot for Duran's hot bat, presumably in left field.
