Cal Raleigh's 8th-Inning Homer Leads Mariners Past Rangers 5-3

Cal Raleigh hit a pivotal two-run homer in the eighth inning, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers, and in the process, he became the franchise's all-time leader in home runs by a catcher with 96. His blast broke the previous record held by Mike Zunino and was his third homer of the season. The game featured strong performances from Jorge Polanco and Rowdy Tellez, who also went deep, while J.P. Crawford contributed with a crucial two-out RBI single. The Mariners managed to secure their third win in four games, despite a shaky outing from starter Bryce Miller, who faced challenges throughout the night. Andrés Muñoz closed the game with a save, marking the Mariners' strong bullpen support. The victory came at a time when the Mariners needed to regain momentum against a divisional rival.
