SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh tied Mickey Mantle’s season of 54 home runs by a switch-hitter with a first-inning drive for the Seattle Mariners against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
Batting left-handed, Raleigh hit a first-pitch homer to left-center off Kyle Hendricks for a 2-0 lead.
Mantle hit his 54 homers for the 1961 New York Yankees.
Raleigh’s homer was his record-setting 43rd homer this season as a catcher, one more than Atlanta’s Javy López in 2003.
In his fifth major league season, Raleigh had a previous high of 34 homers last year.
