Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh thinks All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz was tipping pitches when he squandered a two-run lead in the ninth inning Thursday night against the New York Yankees. Muñoz was handed his sixth blown save in 27 opportunities this season after starter Bryan Woo held the Yankees hitless into the eighth.
Cal Raleigh, a former Smoky Mountain standout, will compete in the Home Run Derby with his dad, former Tennessee coach Todd Raleigh, pitching.
The field for the upcoming 2025 Home Run Derby was finalized on Thursday when Major League Baseball announced that New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. would be the eighth and final contestant.
All-Star starter passed the National Baseball Hall of Famer as the team's most prolific home run hitter through the first half of a season.
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.
