Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mets in the Little League Classic.
Raleigh is now one homer shy of matching Salvador Perez's record for a catcher in a single season. Raleigh sent his 47th blast out to left field in the seventh inning, though that was the extent of the Mariners' comeback effort in this neutral-site game. He got his groove back against the Mets' pitching staff this weekend, going 7-for-12 with three walks and four extra-base hits during the three-game series. Raleigh is slashing .252/.359/.600 with 102 RBI, 82 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and 18 doubles across 122 games this season.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Reaches 100 RBI
Rotowire
Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 11-9 win over the Mets.
The backstop hadn't settled for a two-bagger since June 27, but Raleigh banged out a couple late doubles after launching his league-leading 46th homer of the season in the third inning off Sean Manaea. With the performance, Raleigh reached 100 RBI for the second straight season as he continues to re-write the record book. The last catcher to record back-to-back 100-RBI campaigns was Mike Piazza, who accomplished the feat in five consecutive seasons from 1996-2000. Raleigh is two homers away from tying Salvador Perez for the most in a season by a catcher in MLB history, and he's only six long balls away from tying Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle for the most in a season by a switch hitter. The Mariners have 39 games left on their schedule.
Raleigh is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.
Following a stretch of three straight games with a home run, Raleigh has gone 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series. He'll get a rare breather in Thursday's series finale, with Mitch Garver getting a turn at catcher in Raleigh's stead.
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 6-3 win over Tampa Bay.
Raleigh went 3-for-13 during Seattle's three-game series against the Rays, but all three of his hits -- one in each contest -- were round trippers. The catcher tagged Adrian Houser for a two-run shot in his first at-bat. Raleigh is up to 45 home runs on the season, four more than any other player in baseball.

The catcher has now gone deep in back-to-back games after enduring a slow stretch following the All-Star break, batting .198/.253/.351 with four extra-base hits -- all homers -- and nine RBI over his first 19 games after the Midsummer Classic before the most recent pair of contests.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Plays hero in Friday's win
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rays.
With the Mariners down 2-0 in the eighth inning, Raleigh got hold of a Griffin Jax sweeper and launched it to right-center field for the game-winning homer. It was Raleigh's 43rd long ball of the year, as he marches closer to toppling Salvador Perez's MLB record of 48 homers in a season set in 2021. Raleigh's overall offensive output has slipped since the All-Star break, however, and over his last 20 games he is slashing .198/.253/.383 with 11 RBI.
