Big Dumper keeps on dumpin’. Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh clobbered a 97 mph fastball from Angels reliever José Fermín in the top of the sixth inning of Saturday’s game at Angel Stadium, sending it back at 113.

The homer also came at a key time, snapping Raleigh out of a bit of a funk and also propelling him further into the MLB lead. With Yankees superstar Aaron Judge hitting the IL (right elbow), Raleigh has a chance to make a run at the American League MVP award.

Seattle Mariners star Cal Raleigh became both the first catcher and first switch-hitter in MLB history to reach 40 home runs before the end of July.

Brice Turang drove in three runs with three hits and the Milwaukee Brewers had 17 hits overall in a 10-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners, who sat home run leader Cal Raleigh.

In fact, Raleigh is squarely within range of winning American League MVP even though Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge has been the overwhelming majority of the season. He still is. Let's look at the two and loop in a third to give an idea of how much they are lapping the field. On BetMGM, you'll find:

Former Florida State baseball star and current Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is chasing Barry Bonds' home run record and Aaron Judge's AL mark.

Raleigh, the league leader in home runs, hadn’t gone yard since July 11. He now sits at 39 on the season after taking Nick Mears deep in the seventh inning. Mears was charged with the loss, while Gilbert and closer Andres Muñoz handled the rest.
