  • His two-run blast marked his MLB-leading 46th homer, leaving him two shy of Salvador Perez’s single-season catcher record.
  • He became the first player this season to reach 100 RBIs and the first catcher in 25 years to notch consecutive 100-RBI campaigns, a feat last achieved by Mike Piazza.
  • Analyst Sarah Langs notes Raleigh is matching Mickey Mantle’s 1961 pace with 46 homers through 123 games, putting the switch-hitter single-season mark within reach.
