Raleigh hits MLB-leading 46th homer and sparks five-run seventh as Mariners outslug Mets 11-9
NEW YORK (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 46th homer, sparked a five-run seventh inning with his first double in over a month and the Seattle Mariners set a team record with nine doubles to beat the skidding New York Mets 11-9 on Friday night. Raleigh hit a two-run shot to the second deck in left field and became the first player to reach 100 RBIs this season to give the Mariners a 4-3 lead in the third. He helped the Mariners rally from a 6-5 deficit in the seventh with his first double since June 27 and then doubled again in the eighth. The comeback helped Seattle overcome two homers by Francisco Lindor. Lindor hit a leadoff homer and then a two-run shot in the fourth for a 5-4 lead. Juan Soto also homered and Francisco Alvarez hit a three-run shot in the eighth but the Mets lost for the 14th time in 16 games. After Raleigh scored the tying run on a double by Eugenio Suárez off Ryan Helsley (3-4), Dominic Canzone followed with a go-ahead RBI double off Brooks Raley. Donavan Solano hit an RBI double off the top of the left field wall and rookie Cole Young capped the big inning with a two-run double. Mitch Garver homered and Julio Rodriguez hit a pair of RBI doubles as the Mariners won for the 10th time in 13 games. Young added an RBI single to get Seattle within one run in the sixth. Seattle starter Luis Castillo tied a season worst by allowing six runs and nine hits in four innings. New York starter Sean Manaea allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. Key moment After Jackson Kowar allowed Alvarez's homer, Matt Brash retired Lindor to end the eighth and Andrés Muñoz converted his 29th save. Key stats Raleigh has matched his career high with his 100th RBI in his 448th at-bat. Last season, he finished with 100 RBIs in 546 at-bats. Up next Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (10-6, 3.08) opposes New York RHP Nolan McLean, who makes his major league debut, on Saturday afternoon. ___ AP MLB:

The special meaning behind more than 100 kites in Bradford park this weekend
THE sight of more than 100 kites moving through a Bradford park is hoped to send an important reminder to the world. The names of Palestinian children killed in Gaza will be read aloud as the white kites are held high in Lister Park. The memorial vigil will be held at the bandstand from 2pm on Sunday, August 17. The vigil will begin with the reading of a poem 'If I must Die' by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer, which has been the inspiration behind the event. The procession will then continue through the park with a public reading of names of some children killed through Israel's attacks. The white kites have been created by communities across Bradford. Cutting fabric for the kites (Image: Cecil Green Arts) After starting just a few months ago, the project has brought people together through a series of workshops in churches, madrassas, and other gathering spaces. The project has been supported by Cecil Green Arts, a local arts and theatre company based St Philips Church. Cecil Green Arts is behind other projects such as the annual lantern parade, puppetry events, and much more. The base for the kites (Image: Cecil Green Arts) It is hoped these white kites will stand as symbols of remembrance, hope and solidarity. Wahida Shaffi, one of the event organisers, said: 'Every kite we make is for a child who should still be alive… each kite we raise to the sky is a way of bearing witness, remembering their names and calling for an urgent end to the genocide.' It comes after UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell spoke about the humanitarian situation for children in Gaza at the UN Security Council meeting. The kites (Image: Cecil Green Arts) Speaking on July 16, 2025, in New York, the director said: 'Children are not political actors. They do not start conflicts, and they are powerless to stop them. But they suffer greatly, and they wonder why the world has failed them. 'And make no mistake, we have failed them. "Over the past 21 months of war, more than 17,000 children have reportedly been killed and 33,000 injured in Gaza. An average of 28 children have been killed each day – the equivalent of an entire classroom. Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children killed, every day for nearly two years. "These children are not combatants. They are being killed and maimed as they line up for lifesaving food and medicine." She later added: 'Children who survive the war in Gaza will be forever affected by the deprivation and exposure to traumatic events they have experienced. Even before the war began, half of Gaza's child population needed mental health and psychological support. Today, all of Gaza's children need these services.'
