Cal Raleigh Homers In Third Straight Game
1 day agoMariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat on Sunday, propelling Seattle to a 3-1 victory over Texas. It was Raleigh's third consecutive game with a home run, all during the Mariners' weekend set against the Rangers. In the series, Raleigh went 4-for-10, three home runs, five runs scored, and five RBI. The 28-year-old backstop is living up to his reputation as a power-first, contact-second hitter. Raleigh's five home runs so far lead all catchers in the category (he is tied with Logan O'Hoppe), but he is hitting just .220. Fantasy managers taking on Raleigh will be grateful for the power he provides so long as they have the complementary pieces to offset the damage he can do to a team's batting average. The Mariners kick off a three-game series against the Reds at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.
