This Friday, July 4th, he hit his <strong>34th and 35th home runs<\/strong> of the season to equal the record of the legendary <strong>Ken Griffey Jr.<\/strong> for most home runs before the All-Star Game, in the 6-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may be interested in<\/strong>:<a href=\"http:\/\/\u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as agradecen a Luis Polonia por su legado, sin revelar motivos de su salida B\u00e9isbol\">\u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as agradecen a Luis Polonia por su legado, sin revelar motivos de su salida<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nRaleigh opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run hit, the result of a fastball from left-hander <strong>Bailey Falter (6-4)<\/strong>. The connection, which registered an exit velocity of <strong>115.2 mph<\/strong>, was the most powerful of his career, according to <strong>Statcast<\/strong>.\n\nIn the sixth inning, the left-handed slugger surpassed his personal 2024 record with a new solo home run, which also caused Falter&#8217;s departure from the mound. It was a performance that confirmed his status as the <strong>home run leader in Major League Baseball<\/strong> this season.\n\n<strong>Randy Arozarena<\/strong>, Cuban-Mexican outfielder, also joined the home run festival with a solo home run in the fourth inning, while starting pitcher <strong>Bryan Woo (8-4)<\/strong> shone from the mound with six scoreless innings.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Pirates, the Dominican <strong>Oneil Cruz<\/strong> went 0-for-3.<\/p>\n\n\nMeanwhile, for the Mariners, <strong>Julio Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> went 0-4 with a run scored; <strong>Randy Arozarena<\/strong>, 2-4 with a run scored and an RBI; and the Colombian <strong>Donovan Solano<\/strong>, 1-3 with a run scored.\n\nWith this historic performance, Raleigh solidifies himself as one of the central figures in Seattle on the road to the 2025 All-Star Game, making it clear that his power at bat is on par with the great icons of the club.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEATTLE\u2014 Catcher Cal Raleigh continues to write his name in Seattle Mariners history.
