Cal Raleigh Ends Early Drought with Solo Blast Against Rangers

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh snapped his early-season power drought on Monday, connecting for his first home run of the 2026 campaign. The solo shot came off Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom during a 1-for-3 performance that also included a walk in a 2-1 loss. After leading the majors with 60 home runs in 2025, Raleigh’s slow start had been a point of focus for analysts. This milestone in his 11th game of the season marks a significant step toward regaining his historic power stroke.
