Raleigh’s Slump Shocks Mariners Fans | St. Louis News
Description
Cal Raleigh’s once-potent bat has gone silent this season, plummeting from 60 homers last year to a dismal .170 average and under .600 OPS — so bad that opponents intentionally walked the batter before him to load the bases. Manager Terry Francona admitted it was a calculated gamble, but the worst-case scenario unfolded. Despite Raleigh’s offensive collapse, the Mariners remain in first place in the AL West, clinging to a half-game lead over the Rangers with a 51-50 record. A return to even mediocre form could be the difference-maker in their second-half push — a stark reminder that baseball’s fortunes can shift in an instant.
