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.

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.
