Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Makes more history Tuesday
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Yankees.

In the process, Raleigh set a new Seattle franchise record with 36 homers before the All-Star break, eclipsing a mark set by Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998. Improbably, Barry Bonds' MLB record of 39 is within his sights, as Raleigh has two more contests to aim for the short porch at Yankee Stadium, plus a three-game set in Detroit, before the break.
