Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh became the seventh player in major league history to hit 60 homers in a season, going deep twice against the visiting Colorado Rockies on Wednesday to reach the milestone.

Raleigh blasted No. 60 in the eighth inning, a solo shot off Angel Chivilli that went 389 feet to right field in a game the Mariners won 9-2.

In the first inning, No. 59 was a solo moon shot, 438 feet into the upper deck in right off Tanner Gordon.

The only other players to reach the 60 mark in a season are Barry Bonds (73 in 2001); Mark McGwire (70 in 1998, 65 in 1999); Sammy Sosa (66 in 1998, 64 in 2001, 63 in 1999); Aaron Judge (62 in 2022); Roger Maris (61 in 1961) and Babe Ruth (60 in 1927).
