It was also another record-setting night for Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh. In the top of the third inning, Raleigh hit a two-run homer to left field. It was his major league-leading 46th homer of the season, which gave him sole possession of the second-most single-season homers by a catcher in MLB history, passing Hall of Famer Johnny Bench.

Raleigh hit his 46 th home run of the season on Friday night in the third inning of the Mariners game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. The home run broke a tie with Johnny Bench for the second-most in a season by a catcher and left Raleigh trailing only Salvador Perez, who hit 48 homers in 2021.

Fittingly, given the Mariners are currently hanging out in Queens, the last man to do it was Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, according to Seattle's PR team. Piazza actually did it five seasons in a row, from 1996 through 2000. Raleigh currently leads the league in RBI with his 100, and he's got a month-and-a-half to add to the total.
