Mariners Crush Rangers 13-1 as Raleigh Hits 2 Home Runs

Cal Raleigh hit two home runs, including a grand slam, to take over the major-league lead in homers and power the Seattle Mariners to a 13-1 rout of the Texas Rangers in Arlington. Bryan Woo delivered a dominant performance, carrying a perfect game into the fifth and finishing with one hit allowed and eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 scoreless innings. The Mariners' offense exploded with a seven-run fifth inning, highlighted by Raleigh's grand slam and contributions from rookie Rhylan Thomas, who notched his first MLB hit and RBI. Seattle's win marked their fifth straight and continued a stretch in which they've gone 15-4, the best record in MLB over that span. The Rangers, meanwhile, have slipped below .500 and continue to struggle offensively. This victory underscored Seattle's strong pitching and surging offense as they lead the AL West.
