Raleigh sets homer mark for Mariners in MLB win at Houston

SPORTS 21.09.2025

Cal Raleigh smashed his 57th home run of the year to break the Seattle Mariners record for homers in a season in a 6-4 victory at Houston on Saturday.

Text size:

The 28-year-old American broke the club mark he shared with Ken Griffey Jr., adding to a historic season in which he has captured Major League Baseball season homer records for catchers and switch-hitters.

Griffey hit 56 homers in both the 1997 and 1998 seasons for Seattle.

Raleigh, this year's MLB homer leader, smacked a no-ball, two-strike offering from Astros pitcher Framber Valdez in the third inning and blast the ball over the right-centerfield wall.

The triumph lifted the Mariners, who have reached the playoffs only once since 2001, to 86-69 and boosted their lead over Houston in the American League West division to two games.

Raleigh could threaten the American League record for homers in a season, the 62 by New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in 2022.
