SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 59th homer on Wednesday night, a solo shot for the Seattle Mariners in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies.
Raleigh, batting left-handed, connected off Tanner Gordon for his home run to right field that reached the top deck at T-Mobile Park.
With four games remaining in the Mariners' regular season, Raleigh has a chance to pass New York Yankees star Aaron Judge for the American League single-season home run record. Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022 to break the previous record set by Roger Maris, which stood since 1961.
