Cal Raleigh breaks out with first career 3-HR game vs. Phillies
Seattle's switch-hitting catcher had been mired in a deep slump but went 3-for-3 with a walk and three solo/multi-run blasts.
Cal Raleigh entered the game batting .159 with a 31.2% strikeout rate, but delivered the first three-homer game of his career against Philadelphia. He hit all three homers left-handed, pulling each to right field off Zack Wheeler and reliever Chase Shugart. The performance raised his average to .167 and pushed his season HR total to 17. Manager Dan Wilson noted Raleigh finding the barrel more often and taking better swings as signs of a potential hot streak.
