Cal Raleigh may not keep up his offensive pace, but he has been closing in on AL MVP favorite Aaron Judge. This is no longer Secretariat at the Belmont.

Raleigh has 32 home runs and 68 RBIs for the Mariners. On Monday, He went 2-for-5 and hit a two-run home run in Seattle's, 11-2, victory over Minnesota at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Seattle's catcher also recorded two RBIs and scored two runs. New York's Aaron Judge is second in home runs (28), four behind Raleigh.

For most of the season, it looked like Aaron Judge was running away with the American League MVP race. The Yankees slugger was putting up video game numbers, crushing homer after homer and leading nearly every offensive category.
