Seattle Mariners designated hitter Cal Raleigh (29) hits a grand slam home run against the Detroit Tigers in the ninth inning July 11, 2025, at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan.

Overview

  • On July 11, Raleigh hit a solo shot in the eighth inning and a ninth-inning grand slam to reach 38 home runs this season.
  • His 38th homer eclipsed Chris Davis’s 2013 mark of 37 to establish a new American League record before the All-Star break.
  • The multi-home run night was Raleigh’s eighth of the year, matching Ken Griffey Jr.’s franchise single-season record and equaling Reggie Jackson’s MLB pre-break benchmark.
  • With two games remaining in Detroit, he sits one home run shy of Barry Bonds’s major league record of 39 before the break.
  • Seattle’s offense powered a 12–3 victory over the Tigers, ending ace Tarik Skubal’s unbeaten run since early April.
