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 of the 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, becoming the 13th player in franchise history to hit three home runs in
a game. The only other Seattle catcher to accomplish the feat was current
Mariners manager Dan Wilson in April 1996.
Raleigh was runner-up for the AL MVP award last year, when he led the majors
with 60 home runs and added 125 RBIs.
Wheeler (10-5) allowed a season-high eight runs on nine hits and five walks in
four-plus innings. He struck out four.
Things started well for the Phillies, who took a 1-0 lead in the first on an
RBI groundout from Alec Bohm, but Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (11-7) got out
of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Bryson Stott.
J.T. Realmuto homered in the second off Gilbert to cut it to 5-2.
Seattle added a run in the third when Rodrguez scored on a bases-loaded wild
pitch by Wheeler.
Gilbert gave up two runs and five hits in five innings. He struck out five and
walked two.
