Cal Raleigh achieved a career milestone by hitting two home runs in Seattle's 5-3 win against Cincinnati, bringing his total to 100 career homers. The 28-year-old catcher, who recently signed a $105 million, six-year deal with the Mariners, now has seven home runs in 18 games this season. Raleigh hit his first homer in the fifth inning from the left side against Reds' Nick Martinez and then homered from the right side in the seventh off Taylor Rogers.
Raleigh reached the 100-homer mark in 482 games, making him the second-fastest player in Mariners history to achieve this after Alex Rodriguez. He is also the third catcher in MLB history to homer from both sides of the plate four times, following Jorge Posada and Todd Hundley. Last season, Raleigh hit 34 home runs and recorded 100 RBIs, showcasing his consistent power at the plate.
