And with that Raleigh now holds the MLB single-season record for most first-half home runs by a catcher. You'll note it was also a clutch homer, as Raleigh's second of the day turned 4-4- tie into a 6-4 Mariners lead in the late innings. That lead grew. Raleigh also added a single and a walk and drove in three.

Don't throw Cal Raleigh a hittable first pitch. It might end up in the seats. In addition to everything else Raleigh is doing well in this historic season for the Seattle Mariners catcher, he's also the most dangerous first-pitch hitter in the major leagues.
