He played for the Boston Nationals of the National League for one game on August 1, 1902, at the South End Grounds in Boston against the Chicago Orphans in a relief appearance, replacing Mal Eason. Curran faced 25 batters, struck out three, gave up one earned run on six hits, no walks in 6+2⁄3 innings for a no decision and an ERA of 1.35. In addition Curran had two plate appearances with no hits including a strikeout, thus ending his career with a .000 batting average.[1]
