Cal Raleigh hits 3 homers as Mariners snap Phillies' 9-game win streak with 9-2
victory

SEATTLE (AP) --- Cal Raleigh hit three home runs and the Seattle Mariners
stopped Philadelphia's season-best winning streak at nine games with a 9-2
victory over the Phillies on Monday night.
Julio Rodrguez launched a three-run homer in the first and Raleigh added a
two-run drive to cap a five-run inning against struggling Phillies ace Zack
Wheeler.
Raleigh and Cole Young opened the fifth with back-to-back homers, chasing
Wheeler, and Raleigh connected for another solo shot off reliever Chase Shugart
in the seventh to give him 17 home runs this season.
It was the first multihomer game this year for Raleigh and the first
three-homer game of his career. The switch-hitting catcher finished 3 for 3
with a walk and raised his batting average from .159 to .167. He pulled all
three homers into the right-field seats from the left side of the plate.
Raleigh was runner-up for the AL MVP award last year, when he led the majors
with 60 home runs and added 125 RBIs.
