Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors in homers with 32, says he will participate in next month’s Home Run Derby.

The Minnesota Twins finally got a much-needed win. Now, the Twins will try to make it two victories in a row and secure a split of their four-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Raleigh is on pace to join Johnny Bench in 1974 and Joe Torre in 1970 as the only players whose primary position was catcher in MLB history to reach 700 plate appearances in a season, becoming too essential on both sides of the ball for the Mariners to rest him. Not that he’d want to, anyway.
