Cal Raleigh hits career-high 3 homers for the Mariners against the Phillies

Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh broke out of a season-long slump by hitting three home runs for the first time in his career during a Monday night game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The switch-hitting catcher's three-homer performance, which included a two-run shot and a solo homer, came in the first inning and was followed by two more homers in the fifth and seventh innings.

This marked Raleigh's 17th home run of the season and pushed his batting average from .159 to .167. It was Raleigh's first multihomer game of the year, and he described it as "hard to fathom" and an exciting night. The Mariners won the game 9-2, raising Raleigh's batting average. Raleigh's performance boosted his confidence, and Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert expressed his excitement about Raleigh's hot streak.

This was the first multihomer game of the season for Raleigh, who previously accomplished this feat once with teammate Dominic Canzone on September 16 last year.
