Cal Raleigh Breaks Mariners Single-Season Home Run Record
Cal Raleigh broke yet another record in a crucial 6-4 win over the division-rival Houston Astros on Saturday. The AL MVP contender belted his 57th home run of the year, passing the legendary Ken Griffey Jr. to set a new single-season franchise record. Raleigh, who swatted a solo shot against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez, finished the night 1-for-4 with a walk and an additional run scored. He's now slashing .246/.361/.586 with an AL-leading 119 RBI, 106 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 152 games and 674 plate appearances. Not only is Raleigh the first catcher to ever slug 50 HRs in a season, but with a week of games left, he has a legitimate shot at 60.
