Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, Austin Wells went deep for the third consecutive game and the New York Yankees pounded the Seattle Mariners 10-3 in the opener of a three-game series.

As the scheduling gods would have it, Raleigh and the Mariners were in New York City on Tuesday night to start a three-game set with the New York Yankees. That gave Michael Kay and the YES Network a chance to pay homage to Raleigh and what he has accomplished this season.

Raleigh is three homers away from matching Barry Bonds’ overall record of 39 homers before an All-Star break, which the former San Francisco Giants slugger set in 2001.

Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh leads MLB with 35 home runs, with Yankees captain Aaron Judge second at 33. These two clubs met in Seattle in mid-May, with the Yankees taking two of three games. In that series, Raleigh and Judge each hit one home run.

All-Star infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. is moving back to second base with the New York Yankees in place of DJ LeMahieu, who is heading to the bench
