Cal Raleigh had been searching for his 2025 form all season long, and he found it Monday night in the loudest way possible.
Seattle cruised to a 9-2 win at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners catcher hit three homers against the Phillies, the first three-homer game of his career.
BIG DUMPER FOR A THIRD TIME 😱

Raleigh homered deep in the first, fifth and seventh innings, two of them off Phillies ace Zack Wheeler, per ESPN
He went 3-for-3 with a walk, pulling every ball into the right-field seats from the left side.
This was only the second time in franchise history a Mariners catcher has hit three homers in a single game, and the first time any Seattle hitter has done it at home since Edgar Martinez in 1999.
Julio Rodriguez got the Mariners going early with a three-run homer in the first, his 20th homer of the year and his fifth straight season with that number.
Seattle hit five homers total and chased Wheeler after four rough innings, ending a nine-game Phillies winning streak in the process.
Philadelphia’s J.T. Realmuto answered with a homer of his own, but it wasn’t enough.
The Mariners are 63-69 and within three games of a wild card spot with a month left in the season.
It was as strong a response as Raleigh could muster, considering he’d been blunt about how bad his season had been two weeks ago.
