SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 59th and 60th homers on Wednesday night, solo shots for the Seattle Mariners in the first and eighth innings against the Colorado Rockies.
Raleigh, batting left-handed, connected off Tanner Gordon in the first inning for his first home run to right field that reached the top deck at T-Mobile Park. Then in the eighth inning, Raleigh, batting left-handed again, connected off Angel Chivilli.
Raleigh has 11 multihome run games this season, tied with Aaron Judge (2022), Hank Greenberg (1938) and Sammy Sosa for the MLB record.
With four games remaining in the Mariners’ regular season, Raleigh has a chance to pass Yankees star Aaron Judge for the American League single-season home run record. Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022 to break the previous record set by Roger Maris, which stood since 1961.
Raleigh’s latest homers came just four days after he passed Ken Griffey Jr. for the franchise’s single-season home run record with his 57th homer. Griffey hit 56 in both 1997 and 1998.
