With a chance to win their first American League West title in 24 years in front of them, the Seattle Mariners didn’t wait long to give T-Mobile Park a reason erupt. Then they gave them two more.

Cal Raleigh continued his historic season with his 59th home run, Julio Rodríguez made it back-to-back jacks and Jorge Polanco tacked on another solo blast as the Mariners swatted a trio of home runs off Colorado Rockies starter Tanner Gordon in the first inning Wednesday night.

Raleigh got it started with the perhaps the most prodigious of MLB-leading 59 home runs this year.

The switch-hitting slugger, batting from the left side, went to a place very few hitters have at T-Mobile Park, landing his homer in the first few rows of the upper deck in right field. The blast traveled 438 feet and came off the bat at 110.9 mph.

Raleigh is now tied for the 10th-most home runs in a season in major league history.

With one more homer, he would become just the seventh player in MLB history to reach the 60-homer mark. The players to do so are Babe Ruth (1927), Roger Maris (1961), Sammy Sosa (1998, 1999, 2001), Mark McGwire (1998, 1999), Barry Bonds (2001) and Aaron Judge (2022).

Raleigh is also now just three homers away from matching Judge’s American League record of 62 home runs, which he set in 2022.

Rodríguez’s home run that followed was another long one.

Seattle’s center fielder scalded a slider 422 feet with a 108.3 mph exit velocity, landing it just over the out-of-town scoreboard above the bullpens in left field.

The home run had some historical significance for Rodríguez, too, as he tied his career high with No. 32.

Polanco’s home run came two batters later on a line drive over the wall in right field. It traveled 360 feet and came off the bat at 105.6 mph.

Polanco’s home run was his 25th of the season, giving the M’s four players who have hit 25 in their uniform this season. The has accomplished the feat just two other times: in 1996 (Jay Buhner, Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martínez, Alex Rodriguez) and 1997 (Buhner, Griffey Jr., Martínez, Paul Sorrento).
