Mariners' Cal Raleigh Breaks AL Home Run Record with Grand Slam originally appeared on Athlon Sports. 'Big Dumper' goes deep twice against Detroit Tigers, eclipses AL home run before All-Star break mark.

Cal Raleigh hit his 38th homer with a grand slam vs. the Tigers, joining elite company and closing in on Barry Bonds' record.

The Tigers started the best pitcher in baseball Tarik Skubal, and the Mariners managed four runs off him in five innings of work. Raleigh, though, didn't get his licks in until Skubal had given way to the Detroit bullpen. Homer No. 1 of the night came off Tyler Holton in the eighth inning.
