Cal Raleigh News: Makes history with pair of homers

Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs, one double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 victory over the Royals.

Raleigh spearheaded Tuesday's offensive surge, launching his 55th and 56th long balls of the season. The first, a solo shot in the third inning, moved him past Mickey Mantle for the most home runs in a single season by a switch hitter, while the second, a two-run blast in the fourth, tied Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners' single-season record. The catcher is heating up at the right time, carrying a 1.124 OPS with six home runs and 11 RBI across 14 September games as Seattle pushes for the playoffs.
