Raleigh big night puts him one homer away from a record set by Barry Bonds — and ties him with a record set by Mickey Mantle.
Cal Raleigh hit his 37th and 38th home runs of the season Friday night, pulling within one of Barry Bonds’ record for most homers before the All-Star break as the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 12-3 and snapped Tarik Skubal’s lengthy winning streak.
