Cal Raleigh became the fifth different Mariner to hit 40 home runs in a season with his solo blast Saturday during the Mariners' 7-2 win over the Angels.

The American League MVP has been Aaron Judge’s to lose for pretty much the entire 2025 season. However, when he landed on the injured list over the weekend, the odds flipped in Cal Raleigh’s favor for the first time all year.

The Seattle Mariners won last night, 1-0, with their only run being a home run from catcher Cal Raleigh. They've certainly had others contribute on offense this season -- All-Star outfielder Randy Arozarena in particular deserves a quick shout of late -- but it sure feels like a 1-0 Mariners win with a Raleigh bomb sums things up for the contender at this juncture,
