Cal Raleigh breaks Seattle Mariners home run record with No. 57
Houston – The Seattle Mariners receiver, Cal Raleigh, hit his 57th circuit of the season on Saturday evening against the Astros of Houston to pass Ken Griffey Jr. for the franchise record in a single season.
The navies held a 6-4 victory to give them an advance of two games on the Astros in the Al West.
The navies led 2-0 in the third round when Raleigh struck a lead of 95.5 MPH from Lefty Framber Valdez in the enclosure of the Right Field to do so 3-0 and pass the Mark Griffey reached in 1997 and 1998.
Raleigh raised his right arm to celebrate as he turned the second goal and raised the trident that the mariners use for their celebration of Home Run to the sky after JP Crawford gave him just before entering the canoe.
Raleigh, who directs the majors in the Home Runs, has already exceeded the MLB record of Mickey Mantle for the Home Runs by a switch of 54 which had been held since 1961. He also set the MLB record for Home Runs by a receiver this season, overshadowing the 48 Salvador Perez Hit in 2021.
