Cal Raleigh Makes MLB History Before Break

News summary

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh entered the All-Star break with 38 home runs and 10 stolen bases, joining Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, and Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players to reach those marks by their team's 96th game. Raleigh, who leads MLB in both home runs and RBIs and is an AL MVP contender, narrowly missed tying Barry Bonds' pre-All-Star break home run record after being intentionally walked in his final at-bat. He made further history as the first catcher to win the Home Run Derby. The Mariners swept the AL Central-leading Tigers, scoring 35 runs in three games, their highest such total since 2002. Julio Rodriguez matched a rare feat by recording 17 total bases, four walks, and two steals in a single series. With five All-Stars, the Mariners enter the break with strong momentum as they prepare for a pivotal series against the Houston Astros.
