Overview

  • Raleigh launched solo shots in the first and eighth innings and added a two-run double in a 9-2 win over the Rockies at T-Mobile Park.
  • He is the first catcher to record a 60-homer season and the seventh MLB player to reach 60, extending a year in which he set franchise, switch-hitter and catcher home run records.
  • Seattle secured the division behind a dominant 7 1/3-inning, one-hit outing from Luis Castillo and a stretch of 16 wins in 17 games.
  • Raleigh now has an MLB-leading 60 homers and 11 multi-homer games this season, tying the single-season record shared by Aaron Judge, Hank Greenberg and Sammy Sosa.
  • Judge homered twice earlier in the day to reach 51, keeping the AL MVP race and Raleigh’s pursuit of Judge’s 62-homer mark in sharp focus.
