Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh hits MLB-leading 58th home run against Astros
September 21, 2025
Seattle’s Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 58th home run on Sunday, a two-run shot in the second inning against the Houston Astros. The Mariners were up 5-0 after a grand slam by J.P. Crawford in the second when Raleigh, who was batting left-handed, connected off Jason Alexander for his home run to right field to extend the lead. The shot comes a night after Raleigh passed Ken Griffey Jr. for the franchise single-season home run record with his 57th. Griffey hit 56 in both 1997 and 1998.
