HOUSTON (AP) — Cal Raleigh was desperate to shake things up while mired in the longest hitless streak in the majors this season.

So on the advice of pitcher Logan Gilbert, Seattle’s star catcher showered in full uniform after Monday night’s game.

And on Tuesday night, things went his way for the first time all month as he snapped an 0-for-38 slump with two singles in a 10-2 rout of the Houston Astros.
