Cal Raleigh Hits 40 Home Runs, Sets Mariners Franchise Record

Cal Raleigh became the first player in MLB to hit 40 home runs this season, accomplishing the feat with a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth inning against the Angels. This 40th homer also marked his 133rd career blast, surpassing Ken Griffey Jr. for the most home runs by a Mariners player in their first five MLB seasons. Raleigh is now leading the majors in home runs, two ahead of Shohei Ohtani, and is also on pace to set career highs in RBIs and batting average.
