The Seattle Mariners begin a three-game series against the Houston Astros on Friday, July 18.
Home Run Derby champion Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners are looking to start the second half of the Major League Baseball season like they ended the first: winners in contention for a playoff spot.
The Mariners (51-45) host the division-leading Houston Astros (56-40) for three games starting tonight, July 18, at T-Mobile Park. Seattle went into the All-Star break with a three-game winning streak after sweeping the league-leading Detroit Tigers (59-38).
Since then, Raleigh made history in the Home Run Derby as the only catcher to win the event and the first Mariner to do so since Ken Griffey Jr.
