Raleigh goes supernova with 1st 3-HR night of his career

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit three home runs in a single game for the first time in his career on Monday night, powering Seattle to a 9-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Raleigh homered twice off starter Zack Wheeler and once off reliever Chase Shugart, becoming only the second catcher in Mariners history to hit three home runs in a game, following manager Dan Wilson's feat on April 11, 1996. The performance came after Raleigh had hit just 14 home runs all season with no multi-homer games, and helped Seattle gain ground in the American League playoff race.
