Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh continues to blast home runs at an astonishing pace this season. He is moving into uncharted territory.

Cal Raleigh belted his 45th home run of the season as part of a four-run first inning and the Mariners held on to beat the Rays and earn their second straight sweep.

For a long time, it seemed Johnny Bench had an unbreakable record. In 1970, the Cincinnati Reds' legendary catcher walloped 45 home runs. It was the record for a catcher, and it stood for 50 years.
