Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh hits MLB-leading 58th home run against Astros
- The Seattle Mariners swept the Houston Astros 7-3 on September 21, 2025, at Daikin Park in Houston, taking control of the AL West division.
- The sweep came after an eight-game division lead held by Houston on September 3 collapsed over 18 days, allowing Seattle to seize first place.
- Seattle relied on a seven-run second inning highlighted by J.P. Crawford's grand slam and Cal Raleigh's two-run homer, while Logan Gilbert pitched six innings allowing one run.
- Cal Raleigh hit his 58th home run, extending his franchise record for catchers and switch-hitters, placing him five short of the AL record set by Aaron Judge in 2022.
- Holding a three-game advantage with six contests left, the Mariners need just three combined wins and Astros losses to secure the AL West title, potentially wrapping up the division crown at home as early as Wednesday.
