KANSAS CITY, Mo. — \u2014 Cal Raleigh<\/a> hit a pair of homers<\/a> to match the Seattle season record set by Ken Griffey Jr., Dominic Canzone<\/a> belted a career-best three homers of his own, and the AL West-leading Mariners routed the fading Kansas City Royals<\/a> 12-5 on Tuesday night for their 10th consecutive win.<\/p>\n Raleigh’s first homer, a 419-foot shot off Michael Wacha<\/a> while batting left-handed, gave him 55 on the season, breaking the record for a switch-hitter set by Yankees great Mickey Mantle in 1961. Raleigh’s second shot, a 425-footer off Daniel Lynch IV<\/a> as he batted right-handed, tied the club mark that Griffey set during the 1997 season and matched the following year.<\/p>\n It was the 10th multihomer game this season for \u201cThe Big Dumper\u201d and the 20th of Raleigh’s career. The All-Star catcher also doubled in the first inning and finished 3 for 5 with three RBI, giving him 118 on the year.<\/p>\n Canzone homered in the second inning, the fifth and the ninth on a hot, humid, late-summer night in which balls were sailing out of spacious Kauffman Stadium. The designated hitter also had a pair of singles to finish 5 for 5 with four RBI.<\/p>\n Carter Jensen<\/a> hit the first two homers of his big league career for Kansas City. It looked as if he had a third before his long fly ball in the eighth inning bounced off the right-field wall for a double.<\/p>\n Logan Gilbert<\/a> (5-6) allowed two runs on six hits over 5 2\/3 innings while striking out five for Seattle. The 28-year-old righty, who also pitched well against the Royals in June, has allowed just seven earned runs total over his last five starts.<\/p>\n Wacha (9-12) returned after missing his last scheduled start because of a stint on the seven-day concussion list. He allowed a season-high seven runs on nine hits over 2 2\/3 innings for Kansas City. <\/p>\n Just about every time Raleigh and Canzone stepped to the plate. <\/p>\n The Mariners are riding their longest winning streak since a 14-gamer from July 2-17, 2022.<\/p>\n Mariners RHP Bryce Miller<\/a> (4-5, 5.59 ERA) gets the start Wednesday night after striking out a career-high 11 in his last start against the Angels. LHP Cole Ragans<\/a> (2-3, 5.18) gets his first start for Kansas City since June 5, when he landed on the injured list with a strained left rotator cuff.<\/p>\n ——<\/p>\n
