Overview

  • Raleigh’s two-homer night powered a 9-2 win over the Rockies at T-Mobile Park, securing Seattle’s first division title since 2001.
  • He became the seventh MLB player to hit 60 in a season, the first catcher ever to do it, and he set the single-season mark for a switch-hitter.
  • Raleigh tied the MLB record with his 11th multi-homer game of the year and leads the American League with 125 RBIs.
  • Betting markets reacted, with DraftKings moving Raleigh to the AL MVP favorite over Aaron Judge after Wednesday’s performance.
  • A viral moment followed No. 60 as the adult who caught the ball gave it to a boy; the Mariners are seeking that fan, and the child traded the ball for a signed bat and a batting-practice invitation.
