The Seattle Mariners lead the AL West with a 31-26 record, primarily driven by Cal Raleigh's exceptional performance, including an MLB-record 22 home runs for a catcher before June. Supporting Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez has bolstered the offense, despite mixed results from other players. The Mariners' pitching staff is challenged by injuries, especially to Logan Gilbert and Bryce Miller. However, veteran Luis Castillo is managing a decent 3.32 ERA, helping keep the team competitive while awaiting the return of injured pitchers, which should strengthen their rotation further as the season progresses.
