Cole Young matches Delmon Young as the “youngest Young” with a walk-off hit in @MLB history (both age 21). Both Cole and Delmon (May 17, 2007) broke 6-6 ties in extra innings with 1 out. #TheMayerGWS
Only other time in @Mariners history teammates did this: Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner in 1996. Griffey’s streak started 2️⃣9️⃣ years ago today on July 18, 1996, which is also Cal Raleigh’s uniform number. #TheMayerGWS
Only @MLB players with 10+ home runs in a 14-game span this season: Randy Arozarena, June 30-current (@Mariners) Cal Raleigh, May 23-June 7 (@Mariners)
Only 2 @Mariners to win the Home Run Derby: Ken Griffey Jr. (3x) & Cal Raleigh embracing after Cal’s win. My view from the dugout. BEST NIGHT EVER!
Two Hall of Famers, two members of the 500 Home Run Club, and a two-time Cy Young winner … but only ONE player with 38 home runs during a first half of a season at this desk… 😏🍑

The @Mariners had all 3 outfielders record 3+ hits in same game Today: Arozarena, Rodríguez, Canzone July 12, 2025 Mariners score 15 R in Saturday road W First time in team history: Bradley, Moses, Tartabull July 12, 1986 Mariners score 15 R in Saturday road W 😯 #TheMayerGWS
Cal Raleigh hit 2 HR & grand slam on 4️⃣ year anniversary of @MLB debut (July 11, 2021). Cal also became seventh player with 38+ HR in team’s first 94 G. The first: Babe Ruth. What else do Cal & Babe have in common? Both made MLB debut on July 11! 🤯 (July 11, 1914). #TheMayerGWS
Today was the first day in @MLB history with a leadoff inside-the-park home run (Lawrence Butler for the A’s) AND a walk-off inside-the-park home run (Patrick Bailey for the Giants). Both took place in California against NL East teams!
Only 2 pitching staffs in @MLB history to win back-to-back games by a 1-0 score with 24+ strikeouts and ≤1 walk: 2025 Mariners July 5-6 #5 hitter HR as only run in second game 1933 Giants July 2 (G1 & G2 of Doubleheader) #5 hitter HR as only run in second game #TheMayerGWS
Jorge Polanco tonight & Carlos Santana (w/CLE, 4/8/25) scored the only run in a 1-0 win on their birthday. It’s the third time in @MLB history that’s happened multiple times in a season, joining: 1916: Dots Miller & Dave Robertson 1968: Duke Sims & Ron Swoboda 🎂🎈 #TheMayerGWS
Most home runs by a “Cal” in @MLB history: 35 - Raleigh (2025, thru only 88 G!) 34 - Raleigh (2024) 34 - Ripken Jr. (1991) 30 - Raleigh (2023) 28 - Ripken Jr. (1982) 🇺🇸 🎆 🌭 #TheMayerGWS
Andrés Muñoz recorded save #19. Randy Arozarena and #19 Jay Buhner (June 5-7, 1989) both homered in their first 3 G vs. the Royals in their first full season with the M’s. And Kudos to Matt Brash, whose @Mariners RECORD 19 games with 0 R to start a season ended. 1️⃣9️⃣ #TheMayerGWS
The @Mariners had a player hit career home run #100: June 30 Randy Arozarena: 100th HR & 2 HR; Kirby SP; Raleigh also HR; Brash & Speier scoreless G in win! June 20 Mitch Garver: 100th HR & 2 HR; Kirby SP; Raleigh also HR; Brash & Speier scoreless G in win! 💯💯 #TheMayerGWS
Today’s #TheMayerGWS brought to you by the number 6️⃣4️⃣. Reminder to #VoteCal tomorrow 🍑 as we start a 7-game homestand!!!

Only 2 @MLB P’s to toss scoreless 11th & 12th innings and finish game on the road since automatic runner rule: 6/27/2025 Eduard Bazardo for @Mariners; records W; Luke Raley goes 2-for-6. 4/16/2021 David Price for the Dodgers; records W; Luke Raley goes 2-for-6. #TheMayerGWS
Matt Brash’s last 2 @MLB saves: 6/24/2025 Julio Rodríguez game-winning RBI on road against AL Central team (W 6-5 at MIN) 8/17/2023 Julio Rodríguez game-winning RBI on road against AL Central team (W 6-4 at KC) #TheMayerGWS
My best case for Cal Raleigh as American League MVP so far isn’t just that he leads @MLB with 32 home runs and 68 RBI. It’s not just that he’s on pace for 67 HR, 143 RBI, 120 runs, 95 walks & 19 stolen bases. Cal also leads the AL in Win Probability Added (WPA), the WINNING stat!


CAL RALEIGH: 32 HR+68 RBI=💯. Cal is second switch-hitter in @MLB history to have HR+RBI≥100 this early into season (77 G). He joins Mickey Mantle (29 HR+71 RBI=💯) in 1956 Yankees first 77 G. Mantle also did it vs Senators/Twins franchise. He won AL MVP in ‘56. 👀 #TheMayerGWS
Cal Raleigh (18 TB) & Donovan Solano (16 TB): first teammate duo with 16+ total bases in a 3-game series against the Cubs in Wrigley Field history. The Cubs have done it once at home: Derrek Lee (17) & Alfonso Soriano (16) from Sept. 21-23, 2007 vs. Pittsburgh. 🌭 #TheMayerGWS
Only 2 @MLB players have hit their 30th home run of the season on *exactly* June 21: Cal Raleigh for the @Mariners (2025) & Sammy Sosa for the Cubs (1998). Both were at Wrigley Field. The cool part? The @Cubs just welcomed back Sosa for the first time in 21 years. I love baseball
List of @MLB players to reach 30 home runs before the end of June: Babe Ruth (2x) Ken Griffey Jr. (2x) Sammy Sosa (2x) Mark McGwire Barry Bonds Luis Gonzalez Albert Pujols Chris Davis Shohei Ohtani Aaron Judge CAL RALEIGH (first catcher to do it)
