Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Cal Raleigh microwaved his previously frigid bat, smashing a career-high three home runs in a Seattle Mariners victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Seattle.
The Mariners catcher, who entered the night with just one multiple hit game since April, went deep in the first, fifth and seventh innings of a 9-2 triumph Monday at T-Mobile Park. With the win, the Mariners snapped the Phillies' season-long nine-game winning streak.
"We've endured a lot this year, and we're fighting with everything we've got right now," Raleigh told reporters. "And I like where the club's at.
"But that being said, obviously, the job's not finished, and we've got some work to do. And this last month will tell us a lot."
