Cal Raleigh hits two homers as Mariners topple Cubs
June 20 - Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 28th and 29th home runs of the season to help the visiting Seattle Mariners to a 9-4 win against the Chicago Cubs in the opener of their three-game series on Friday afternoon. Raleigh, who passed Johnny Bench for the most home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break, also singled, walked and scored four times. Mitch Garver also homered twice and drove in five runs, and Donovan Solano had three hits and an RBI for the Mariners, who have won five of seven. Seattle starter George Kirby allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings. The right-hander struck out three and walked one. Eduard Bazardo (2-0), Carlos Vargas, Gabe Speier, Matt Brash and Casey Legumina combined for four shutout innings of relief for Seattle. Chicago starter Matthew Boyd allowed two runs and two hits in five innings, striking out six and walking two on 76 pitches. Ian Happ and Reese McGuire homered. Michael Busch had three hits and two RBIs and Kyle Tucker had two hits, a walk and a run scored for the Cubs, who have lost two straight for just the second time since early May. Boyd snagged a 105-mph comebacker to end the fifth and was relieved by Ryan Pressly to start the sixth. Pressly retired the first two batters before Randy Arozarena doubled and Garver lifted a 3-1 fastball over the fence in left-center field to tie it 4-4. Caleb Thielbar (2-2) took the mound to start the seventh for Chicago and he also retired the first two batters before surrendering a single to Julio Rodriguez followed by a two-run blast to left by Raleigh to move the Mariners in front 6-4. Garver provided some cushion with a three-run homer to left-center in the ninth to make it 9-4. Raleigh went deep with two outs in the first to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead. Happ got the run back with a leadoff home run in the bottom half of the inning to tie it 1-1. The inning continued with a single by Tucker and a double to center by Seiya Suzuki. Kirby retired the next two batters without any damage, but Busch came through with a two-run single for a 3-1 lead. Boyd retired eight in a row following Raleigh's homer but then walked Raleigh his second time up with one out in the fourth. Raleigh stole second and scored on a two-out single to center by Solano to cut the lead to 3-2. McGuire lifted a solo home run to right-center field to lead off the fifth and make it 4-2. --Field Level Media

Sammy Sosa returns to Wrigley Field for first time in more than two decades
CHICAGO — Legendary Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in more than 20 years on Friday before Chicago's afternoon game with the Seattle Mariners. Sosa, who is set to be inducted into the Cubs' team Hall of Fame this year, arrived at the iconic North Side ballpark in a black SUV. He was greeted by owner Tom Ricketts, who embraced him in a hug as he exited the vehicle. Sosa became the face of the Cubs franchise where he played 13 seasons after coming in a trade from the crosstown White Sox in March 1992. A seven-time All-Star, Sosa hit 545 homers in 1,811 games with the Cubs and hit a franchise-record 66 in 1998 when he was named the NL's MVP. Sosa, now 56, played his final game with the Cubs at Wrigley on Oct. 2, 2004, when he homered and had two hits in an 8-6 loss to Atlanta. During his years with the Cubs, Sosa appeared to bulk up drastically and was a headliner in a generation of baseball's biggest names linked to performance-enhancing drugs. The Cubs traded him to Baltimore with cash in February 2005 for three players. Sosa appeared to acknowledge using performance-enhancing drugs in December when he released a statement saying he was sorry for mistakes, without specifying them. "There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games," he said in the statement. "I never broke any laws. But in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize." On Friday morning, Sosa posed for photos with rising Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong outside the team's clubhouse and a video showed Sosa embracing manager Craig Counsell in his office before the game. "(Sosa) saw the wind blowing out today and planned this trip around a good day to be here," Counsell joked. "He asked to be in the lineup because the wind's blowing out." The Cubs honored Sosa with a video board tribute after the second inning. Sosa waved and bowed to fans from a suite during the presentation. In Thursday's 8-7 loss to Milwaukee, Crow-Armstrong went deep to set a new team record for reaching 20 homers and 20-plus stolen stolen bases the fastest, doing it in 73 games. Sosa had the old mark of 96, set in 1994. Counsell, who faced Sosa as a player, saluted the former slugger for his strength at the plate and long homers, as well as star power. "Probably the best thing, Sammy was a true entertainer," Counsell said. "I think when you're in this long enough, you realize that's part of this.
