Overview

  • Raleigh launched No. 59 into T-Mobile Park’s upper deck off Tanner Gordon in the first inning and added No. 60 in the eighth off Angel Chivilli, traveling 438 and 389 feet, respectively.
  • Seattle beat Colorado 9-2 to secure its first division title since 2001, capping a surge of 16 wins in 17 games.
  • Raleigh became the seventh player with a 60-homer season and the first catcher to do it, after already breaking the single-season marks for switch-hitters and the Mariners franchise.
  • He increased his AL-leading RBI total to 125 and recorded his 11th multi-homer game of the year, tying the MLB single-season record.
  • Luis Castillo fanned 10 over 7 1/3 one-hit innings, while Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco also homered in the clincher.
