Cal Raleigh tied Mickey Mantle’s legendary 54-homer season by belting his 54th switch-hitter homer, lifting Seattle to an 11-2 win over the Angels and sole possession of the AL West lead. George Kirby piled up 14 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings as the Mariners closed out a four-game sweep and extended their home dominance. Three doubles from Jorge Polanco and a late-inning ankle tweak for Yoán Moncada added intrigue, while Angels’ Christian Moore and Oswald Peraza went deep in a lopsided defensive night. Raleigh’s blast also capped a strong power-night that kept Seattle’s offense humming as the next rotation lanes open with Gilbert and Wacha slated to face Kansas City and Milwaukee, respectively.

Matt Olson’s 24th homer and a 172 wRC+ fuel Atlanta’s Sunday run, part of a rising wave that has the Braves 6-1 in their last seven Sunday games. Fraley lands on the IL with an oblique issue as Luke Williams is recalled to bolster the bench, while J.R. Ritchie shines in Gwinnett and Sandy León belatedly homers for a feel-good moment.

Across MLB, Cal Raleigh ties Mickey Mantle’s single-season mark for switch-hitters (54) and breaks the catcher-HR record (43), underscoring the era’s power-swing trends. Pete Alonso provides Mets offense, Nolan Arenado returns for the Cardinals, Jose Quintana heads for calf MRI evaluation, and Trey Yesavage gets the call for a Jays debut. A snapshot of late-season power, depth, and prospect pressure shaping fantasy rosters.
