Raleigh is three homers away from matching Barry Bonds’ overall record of 39 homers before an All-Star break, which the former San Francisco Giants slugger set in 2001.

Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, Austin Wells went deep for the third consecutive game and the New York Yankees pounded the Seattle Mariners 10-3 in the opener of a three-game series.

The first of those 12 tests was a blowout loss, with Cal Raleigh providing the only highlight. An inning after watching Aaron Judge hit his 34th homer of the season, Raleigh clubbed his 36th of the season in the eighth inning to set a new franchise mark for the most homers before the All-Star break, passing Ken Griffey Jr.’s 35 homers in 1998.
