Cal Raleigh belted his 51st homer, a major-league record for catchers and a leap toward Mickey Mantle’s switch-hitter mark of 54. The shot came in the fourth against the Rays at Steinbrenner Field.

His 41st homer behind the plate ties for the second-most in a season, while Raleigh has overtaken Salvador Perez for the most homers by a catcher in 1 season. He sits five shy of Griffey Jr.’s Mariners single-season mark of 56, keeping Mantle’s 54 within reach and fueling Seattle’s power surge.

Dominic Canzone’s ejection set the tone as Seattle’s 6-5 defeat to Tampa Bay unfolded with late-innings drama. Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco supplied solo homers to briefly push the lead, while Junior Caminero’s 40th homer at 21 tied it in the sixth and swung momentum to the Rays. Bryan Woo battled, but the Rays capitalized late, aided by a shaky Mariners bullpen and a sac bunt from Luke Raley that didn’t pay off as Seattle searched for extra runs.

From a fantasy lens, Raleigh and Rodríguez carry legit power and multi-position eligibility, while Canzone’s energy and lineup presence could spark value in deeper formats. Caminero’s breakout power adds upside for the Rays, and Manny Acta’s managerial shuffle plus the Ump Show antics underscore how volatility and bullpen usage can swing daily fantasy outcomes in tight, late-season games.

Shohei Ohtani blasted a solo shot at PNC Park that leapt off the bat at 120 mph, the hardest-hit ball in the Statcast era. Off Bubba Chandler at 99.2 mph, it became the toughest homer off a sub-100 mph pitch in the era and pushed Ohtani’s season total to 46, plus his 100th Dodgers homer. He remains a DH candidate as he builds back toward full mound work, with Teoscar Hernández backing the offense and the Dodgers clinging to a narrow NL West lead.

Ohtani’s feat comes amid a Dodgers- Pirates test, with Teoscar Hernández driving in a run to tighten the score and Rafael Diaz-like power looming on the horizon for fantasy managers. The Dodgers sit at 78-59, entertaining a hopeful finish as Ohtani continues to blend elite power with a recovered mound role, following a five-inning start against the Reds and prepping for another start versus Pittsburgh.
