Cal Raleigh powers Mariners past Athletics

Cal Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 7-6 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow win, though his overall batting average remains at .218 for the season. Raleigh's power numbers, with 33 homers and 98 RBI, continue to make him a valuable fantasy asset, particularly in formats that reward power production from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a concern for fantasy managers looking for consistency and contact. His ability to provide occasional bursts of scoring keeps him relevant, but expectations should be tempered given his batting trends.
