His eventful night notwithstanding, Raleigh is still carrying an abysmal .136/.216/.333 slash line for the season, although five of his nine hits have gone for extra bases.

Slugs fourth homer in win Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Sits after two straight starts Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Raleigh, who popped his third home run of the season in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Toronto, will retreat to the bench as the Mariners kick off a four-game series in Boston.

Sitting Tuesday Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Raleigh and Tom Murphy will continue their pattern of alternating turns behind the plate, as both backstops have now drawn three starts at catcher apiece over the Mariners' last six games.

Impact The Mariners have rolled out a three-man rotation at catcher to begin the season, with Raleigh and Luis Torrens both picking up two turns behind the plate while Tom Murphy has started once. Raleigh's superior defense might be enough to give him the edge over Torrens as the nominal No. 1 option, but the 25-year-old backstop may need to show some improvement at the plate to maintain his spot atop the depth chart. Through his first 154 plate appearances in the big leagues, Raleigh is slashing .182/.234/.308 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate.
