Seattle's Raleigh has record-setting home run ball personally delivered by Astros' staffer

When Cal Raleigh crushed his 57th home run of the year into the Astros’ bullpen Saturday night to pass Ken Griffey Jr. for Seattle’s single-season record, Houston’s longtime bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte scrambled to grab it. The Mariners led 2-0 in the third inning when Raleigh hit a 95.5 mph sinker from lefty Framber Valdez into the bullpen in right-center field to make it 3-0 and pass the mark Griffey reached in both 1997 and 1998.
