The Mariners dominated the previous matchup, a 13-1 blowout, powered by catcher Cal Raleigh’s two homers, including a grand slam that boosted his MLB-leading home run total to 12 this season

Cal Raleigh has been a key offensive force for the Mariners, batting .269 with seven homers and 15 RBIs over his last 15 games, and his power at the plate will be crucial again today The Mariners will look to Luis Castillo (3-2, 3.62 ERA) to continue their pitching dominance as they aim for their eighth consecutive series win
