Raleigh Grand Slam, Woo Gem Lead Mariners to 8-0 Shutout vs. Red Sox

Wednesday, June 18th, 2025

SEATTLE -- — Cal Raleigh hit a grand slam for his major league best 27th home run and drove in six runs, tying a career high, as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-0 on Tuesday night. Bryan Woo pitched masterfully, allowing just one hit over seven innings. The victory snapped Boston's six-game winning streak.

Raleigh's grand slam came in the second inning off Red Sox starter Walker Buehler. He turned on an elevated changeup to clear the bases and cap off a five-run frame for the Mariners. Rookie Cole Young also contributed in the inning with an RBI double.

Raleigh wasn't finished, adding two more RBI in the fourth inning with a double. His six-RBI performance matched his career high, set previously on August 21, 2023, against the Chicago White Sox.

Bryan Woo (6-4) was dominant on the mound for Seattle. He gave up a single to Marcelo Mayer and issued two walks in the fifth inning, but otherwise kept the Red Sox offense quiet. Woo finished his seven innings having struck out six batters.

Walker Buehler (5-5) took the loss for Boston, struggling with control early. The Red Sox were shut out, managing only one hit against Woo.

Key Moment

While Rowdy Tellez led off the second inning with a single, the turning point came when Buehler issued his second and third walks of the frame. These walks loaded the bases, setting the stage for Cal Raleigh's decisive grand slam that put the Mariners in control.

Key Stat

Cal Raleigh's impressive night included a rare combination of statistics. He is the first catcher since Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants on June 19, 2015, to record three or more hits, a grand slam, and a stolen base in a single game.

Up Next

The Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox will conclude their three-game series on Wednesday. Seattle will send right-hander Luis Castillo (4-4, 3.29 ERA) to the mound. The Red Sox will counter with left-hander Garrett Crochet (6-4, 2.24 ERA).

In summary

The Seattle Mariners defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-0 on June 17, 2025, behind a grand slam and six RBIs from Cal Raleigh and seven shutout innings from starting pitcher Bryan Woo. Raleigh's 27th home run, an MLB best, highlighted the Mariners' offense. The loss ended Boston's six-game winning streak. Walker Buehler took the loss for the Red Sox. The series concludes Wednesday with Luis Castillo pitching for Seattle and Garrett Crochet pitching for Boston.
