SEATTLE (AP) --- Cal Raleigh busted out of a season-long slump with the first
three-homer game of his career Monday night.
The switch-hitting catcher capped a five-run first inning with a two-run shot
off struggling Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler. Raleigh added a leadoff
homer against Wheeler in the fifth and a solo drive off reliever Chase Shugart
in the seventh to give him 17 home runs this season.
It was the first multihomer game of the year for Raleigh, who finished 3 for 3
with a walk in a 9-2 victory and raised his batting average from .159 to .167.
Raleigh was runner-up for the AL MVP award last year, when he led the majors
with 60 home runs and added 125 RBIs.
