Slugger Cal Raleigh extends homer streak to 4 at-bats and ties Mariners’ record

Seattle Mariners outfielder Cal Raleigh extended his impressive home run streak to four consecutive at-bats, tying the team's all-time record. The slugger connected with a 362-foot homer in the second inning against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, marking his 18th homer of the season. This feat matched the Seattle record set by Mike Cameron on May 2, 2002.

Raleigh's four-homer streak began with his first at-bat of the game, following a three-homer night in Monday night's 9-2 win against the Phillies. After leading off the second inning with his powerful blast, Raleigh walked in his next plate appearance in the fourth inning. The streak concluded with a strikeout against Phillies' pitcher Aaron Nola in the sixth inning.

Raleigh had faced a challenging season, finishing as the runner-up for the American League MVP award in the previous year with 60 home runs. Entering the Phillies series with a .159 batting average and 14 homers, he bounced back with a stellar performance on Monday, going 3 for 3 and adding a walk between his first two homers. The Mariners' team record for home runs in a two-game span is five, set by Edgar Martinez on May 17-18, 1999.

The last Mariners player to achieve the remarkable feat of four consecutive home runs over two consecutive games was Kenji Johjima, who accomplished the task on June 24-27, 2006.
