During the Seattle Mariners' 6-0 Fourth of July win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday afternoon, catcher Cal Raleigh homered twice to secure the dub. His two dingers were his 34th and 35th on his impressive 2025 season.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh tied his career-high for home runs with the hardest-hit batted ball of his career Friday.

Two weeks ago, Raleigh hit his 29th homer, surpassing Johnny Bench's mark for the most ever by a catcher before the All-Star break. With his 30th home run, he became the first switch-hitter to reach that total before the season's halfway point. Raleigh has hit 22 home runs as a right-handed batter this season adding 12 as a left-hander.
