With less than one week remaining in the regular season… What do Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge still need to do to make their cases stronger to win the American League MVP award?
Unfortunately, he has faded once again right when Houston has needed run production the most. After hitting .316 on a nine-game road trip to Texas, Toronto and Atlanta, Walker went 0-for-16 with 10 strikeouts to start the final homestand against the Rangers and Mariners before a single in Sunday’s game snapped the ugly skid.
He’s hit every other round number and set records for catchers and switch-hitters and s tood shoulder-to-shoulder with Mickey Mantle and Ken Griffey Jr., insane company for a 6-2, 235-pound backstop nicknamed Big Dumper to keep.
Cal Raleigh socked his 47th homer of the season Sunday against the Mets, leaving him just one behind Salvador Perez's record for most by a catcher.
