Cal Raleigh Swats 53rd Home Run in Win
Cal Raleigh slugged his league-leading 53rd home run of the season in an 18-2 thrashing of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Raleigh's three-run jack in the top of the ninth against right-hander Rolddy Munoz traveled 426 feet. The AL MVP candidate finished the afternoon 2-for-6 with an additional run scored. He's now slashing .243/.351/.581 with an AL-high 113 RBI, 94 runs scored, and a surprising 14 stolen bases over 619 plate appearances. Raleigh is just one homer from tying the legendary Mickey Mantle for most by a switch-hitter in a single season. With another three weeks left in the regular season, Raleigh also has a good chance to reach the 60 mark. He's already in uncharted territory as the first catcher to smash at least 50 in a season.
