Cal Raleigh hit three home runs Monday night as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 9-2, breaking out of a season-long slump with the first three-homer game of his career. The performance puts the catcher in rare company among Mariners backstops—per MLB.com, Raleigh joined the team's skipper as only the second catcher in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
The victory halted Philadelphia's winning streak at nine games, per ESPN. One outlet reported that Raleigh became the first Seattle Mariners player to hit three home runs in a game at T-Mobile Park, though the reporting on whether this marks a broader franchise record is limited to that single source.
