Cal Raleigh rode into this game on the heels of hitting home runs in back-to-back games, with the first one of those having broken the franchise record for most home runs by a catcher. Unsatisfied with that “by a catcher” qualifier, Cal decided to open today’s game by making it back-to-back-to-back, pulling a ball over the right-field fence to keep climbing the Mariners leaderboard and give Seattle a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Only one more to catch Ichiro for 16th all-time. With a typical season, he’ll be in the top 10 by August.
