Baseball erupts after Cal Raleigh wins 2025 MLB Home Run Derby thriller
The post Baseball erupts after Cal Raleigh wins 2025 MLB Home Run Derby thriller appeared first on ClutchPoints. Cal Raleigh's dream season continued Monday night when the Seattle Mariners' slugger capped off a remarkable first half with a historic Home Run Derby performance. The All-Star catcher was the betting favorite to win the event after leading the majors in homers at the break. And Raleigh came through with a strong showing. After out-donging the competition over three rounds, Raleigh was crowned the 2025 Home Run Derby champion, per MLB. While the fifth-year veteran was expected to dominate the event, the Big Dumper barely made it out of the first round. Raleigh showed off his versatility by switching to the right side of the plate during Round 1 and then changing back to the left side for his bonus swings. However, he ended up in a tie with the Athletics' Brent Rooker as both players had 17 homers. In the first round, distance is the tiebreaker and the longest dong wins. Raleigh just edged out Rooker's 470.54-foot blast with a 470.62-foot bomb, narrowly advancing to the second round. Mariners' star Cal Raleigh makes Home Run Derby history But after just squeaking by early, the Mariners' backstop found his groove. Raleigh easily surpassed Pittsburgh Pirates' slugger Oneil Cruz in Round 2, mashing 19 homers to move onto the finals. Raleigh squared off against Junior Caminero in the championship round. He put the pressure on Caminero by opening with 18 dingers and, despite a strong effort from the Tampa Bay Rays third baseman, Raleigh emerged as the Derby champ. It's the latest achievement in a historic season for the Mariners' veteran. Raleigh is the first catcher and the first switch hitter to ever win the Home Run Derby, per Daniel Kramer of He's the first Mariner to win the competition since Ken Griffey Jr. took back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999. Raleigh leads the majors with 38 bombs on the season. He fell just one blast short of joining Barry Bonds with the most home runs all-time before the All-Star break. Raleigh is on pace to leave the yard 65 times this season as he attempts to lead the Mariners to a Wild Card berth. Raleigh's epic Home Run Derby win got fans talking.

RangersReports2 added: 'This was Mariners fans' World Series' The Chairman commented: 'Congrats Cal you put on a historic performance from both sides of the plate. Keep it going in the second half!' And MLB Digest noted: 'And he did it with his brother catching & his dad on the mound' Related: Mariners' Cal Raleigh has no answers for Jacob Wilson Related: Mariners star Cal Raleigh's dad, brother react to Home Run Derby triumph

Rays hit four homers, trounce Orioles
July 19 - Yandy Diaz belted his second career grand slam, Junior Caminero added a pair of homers and Danny Jansen also went deep, lifting the host Tampa Bay Rays to an 11-1 romp over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Caminero launched a three-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the sixth to help the Rays snap a four-game skid. Rookie Chandler Simpson joined Diaz and Caminero with three hits to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. The offense was more than enough for Taj Bradley (6-6), who scattered three hits over six scoreless innings to atone for a pair of tough outings against Baltimore last month. Bradley went 0-1 in those games after yielding 12 runs (11 earned) on 14 hits in 6 2/3 innings. Brandon Lowe went 1-for-4 in his return from the 10-day injured list. He went on the shelf before the break with left oblique tightness and missed the All-Star Game in Atlanta. Colton Cowser had three hits and Gunnar Henderson added two and scored a run for the Orioles, who have lost three in a row. Simpson ripped a double to lead off the first inning and Diaz walked to set the stage for Caminero, who smacked a 0-1 curveball from Charlie Morton (5-8) over the wall in left-center field. Jansen sent a 0-1 fastball from Morton over the wall in left-center field to extend the Rays' lead to 4-0 in the second inning. Jansen's homer was his 10th of the season. Josh Lowe ripped an RBI double in the third inning and Jake Mangum scored on a throwing error in the sixth before Diaz broke open the game. Diaz deposited a 1-0 sinker from reliever Grant Wolfram over the wall in right-center field for his 15th homer of the season. The Rays weren't done, however. Caminero stepped up two batters later and sent a first-pitch sinker over the wall in right field for his team-leading 25th homer of the season and fourth in his last six games. Morton permitted seven runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings to sustain his first loss since May 7. --Field Level Media
