The MLB record for single-season home runs by a catcher is 48, set by the Royals' Salvador Perez. Raleigh needs one to tie and two to break it, with more than a month left in the season. It feels like a foregone conclusion at this point, but that won't make the moment any less special.

It was also another record-setting night for Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh. In the top of the third inning, Raleigh hit a two-run homer to left field. It was his major league-leading 46th homer of the season, which gave him sole possession of the second-most single-season homers by a catcher in MLB history, passing Hall of Famer Johnny Bench.

Cal Raleigh socked his 47th homer of the season Sunday against the Mets, leaving him just one behind Salvador Perez's record for most by a catcher.
