And for the first time in this series, he’s going to bat right-handed. John Schneider calls on Brendan Little. They’ve wanted to give Raleigh different looks.

The big dumper with a big home run here in the bottom of the eighth inning. It ties the game. It’s the Mariners two and the Blue Jays two. Cal Raleigh’s fourth home run of the postseason. This is the highest home run I’ve seen live. And there was still doubt that this was going to be robbed. And you called it, is it enough? And it was barely enough. They’ve been waiting forever. That is a moment. Who knows? A moment he’s had a lot. Cal leaves things off. Cal batting lefty against the righty Varlin. Var stocky righty into the motion. The 01 swinging a fly ball driven deep right field. Cal Raleigh. He has homerred in game seven. He has stung the Blue Jays yet again. A leadoff home run by Cal Raleigh to begin the fifth inning. And a silent hush over nearly 50,000 inside Rogers Center. It’s a 31 Mariners lead. He loves hitting here at Roger Center. That’s about home run number 15 against the Blue Jays and at least number 10 or 11 at Rogers Center. He’s got one of the best slugging percentages of anybody in this ballpark. It’s supposed to be away and it just cuts in. And that is that perfect stroke. Launching home runs all year and says, “I’m not done.” Add more to dump.
