Cal Raleigh launches a grand slam to break the AL record for most home runs before the All-Star break and extend the Mariners' lead to 12-3 in the 9th

The Tigers started the best pitcher in baseball Tarik Skubal, and the Mariners managed four runs off him in five innings of work. Raleigh, though, didn't get his licks in until Skubal had given way to the Detroit bullpen. Homer No. 1 of the night came off Tyler Holton in the eighth inning.

Raleigh’s 93 home runs prior to this year were the most through a catcher’s first four seasons in MLB history, but 73 of those homers came hitting left-handed. Entering the 2025 season, Raleigh had never slugged above .450 as a right-handed hitter.

Cal Raleigh hit a grand slam to regain the major league lead in home runs as the Seattle Mariners put an end to the visiting Boston Red Sox's six-game winning streak with an 8-0 decision on Tuesday.

That blast set a new American League record for home runs before the All-Star break, eclipsing the 37 hit by Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles back in 2013. That also puts Raleigh one shy of the MLB record set by Barry Bonds, who belted 39 home runs before the All-Star break back in 2001.
