Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Drives in two Friday
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the Mets on Friday.
Raleigh provided the final runs of the night via his eighth-inning knock, which plated Leo Rivas and Victor Robles. The slugging backstop crossed the 70-RBI threshold for the second consecutive season in the process, and he's now knocked in multiple runs on six occasions in the last calendar month. Raleigh also extended his on-base streak to eight games with his single, and he's reached safely in 15 of the last 16 contests overall.

The Yankees haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 31-year-old in the minors, though a mid-to-late-August return seems likely.
