Cal Raleigh, the catcher for the Mariners, is making significant headlines after hitting two home runs in a game against the Kansas City Royals, leading his team to a 12-5 victory. This achievement brings his season total to 56 homers, setting a new record for the most home runs in a season by a switch-hitter, surpassing the legendary Mickey Mantle.

Moreover, Raleigh’s second home run allows him to tie Ken Griffey Jr. for the all-time home run record for the franchise, elevating him in the annals of baseball history. With this performance, Raleigh is poised to make a potential run at the all-time home run leaderboard, with only a handful of games remaining in the season.

In addition to their triumphant win, the Mariners are now on a 10-game winning streak, hoping to clinch their first division title since 2001. While Raleigh continues to break records, he also achieved a milestone as he recorded his 44 home runs while playing as a catcher, setting another record previously held by Javy Lopez.

As the final games approach, the spotlight remains on Raleigh as he continues to make history in what is shaping up to be a remarkable season.
