Cal Raleigh Ties Ken Griffey Jr.’s HR Mark, Shrugs Off Neck Scare

Raleigh homered twice in Mariners' 12-5 win over Royals, breaking Yankee legend Mickey Mantle’s switch-hitter record with No. 55 and tying Ken Griffey Jr.’s Mariners mark at 56. A foul ball stung his neck mid-game: “It didn’t feel good… just stung a bit.” Seattle’s 10th straight win pushed them atop the AL West, a half-game ahead of Astros.
