With this blast, he’s not only rewriting franchise history but also inserting himself into the greater narrative of MLB catcher records, slugging his way alongside legends of the game. His power surge comes at a pivotal moment in the Mariners season—and just ahead of a high-profile appearance in the 2025 Home Run Derby.</p><p>Raleigh’s seventh-inning homer on Monday against Kansas City Royals reliever Daniel Lynch IV wasn’t just another long ball—it was his 33rd by June 30th, tying him with Ken Griffey Jr. and Sammy Sosa for the third-most home runs through that date in MLB history. Only Barry Bonds (39 in 2001) and Mark McGwire (37 in 1998) have hit more. This milestone matters even more when considering Raleigh’s position. Few catchers have maintained such elite offensive production while shouldering the physical grind of daily duties behind the plate.</p><p>The Talkin’ Baseball podcast emphasized the <a href="https://x.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1939889833465253910" rel="noopener">significance</a> of this feat with a graphic posted to X (formerly Twitter), showcasing the elite group Raleigh now belongs to.</p><p>“Elite company for Cal Raleigh!”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Elite company for Cal Raleigh! <a href="https://t.co/BdAo1ozrIP">pic.twitter.com/BdAo1ozrIP</a></p><p>— Talkin’ Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) <a href="https://twitter.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1939889833465253910?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 1, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The post features a graphic comparing Raleigh’s 33 home runs to historical greats, placing him in a five-player list that includes Bonds, McGwire, Griffey Jr., and Sosa. That list isn’t just elite—it’s iconic. And while Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa are often associated with the Steroid Era, Raleigh, much like Griffey Jr., is seen as a “clean” slugger. That context adds extra weight to his achievement and elevates his reputation as a legitimate power threat.</p><p>Raleigh’s consistency at the plate and leadership behind it have made him indispensable to the club’s success. Through 83 games, the Seattle catcher is slashing .276/.387/.649 with an OPS of 1.036, which ranks among the league’s elite. He leads all of Major League Baseball with 33 home runs, is tied for first with 71 RBIs, and ranks tied-50th in batting average at .276—numbers that are extraordinary, especially for a catcher. He’s now within striking distance of Salvador Perez’s all-time single-season record of 48 home runs by a catcher, set in 2021.</p><p>More importantly, his durability has helped stabilize Seattle’s lineup. Since Opening Day, Raleigh has appeared in every game and caught more innings than any other backstop in baseball. That level of availability, combined with elite offensive output, is virtually unheard of from the catching position and places him firmly in the MLB catcher records conversation.</p><p>Now, as the 2025 All-Star break approaches, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-makes-hr-derby-decision-monster-campaign">Raleigh’s inclusion in the 2025 Home Run Derby</a> seems more like a formality than a surprise. The Mariners slugger is poised to be one of the event’s biggest draws in Atlanta, bringing momentum, fanfare, and a realistic shot at winning the entire competition.</p><p>With his latest blast, Raleigh’s home run barrage is doing more than just making headlines—it’s redefining what’s possible from the catcher position and injecting real belief into a Mariners team looking to return to the postseason spotlight.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But with his two-homer game, he’s now on pace for his fourth consecutive 20/20 season as he’s up to 10 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 2025.

But no moment was more defining than Mastrobuoni’s catch in the bottom of the 11th. With the score tied and the bases loaded, Corey Seager popped a ball down the left-field line. Mastrobuoni, inserted as a pinch-hitter in the 10th and now at third base, tracked the ball at full sprint and made a jaw-dropping sliding grab over his shoulder to keep the Mariners alive.</p><p>MLB’s official X account, formerly known as Twitter, posted the clip and called it “RIDICULOUS,” showcasing the <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1938801730763866498" rel="noopener">incredible awareness and athleticism</a> Mastrobuoni displayed to rob the Rangers of a walk-off win.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Miles Mastrobuoni makes a RIDICULOUS catch to send this game to the 12th inning! 😱 <a href="https://t.co/ZffLJlZINL">pic.twitter.com/ZffLJlZINL</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1938801730763866498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In the top of the 12th, the M’s capitalized. With Randy Arozarena starting on second under extra-inning rules, Mastrobuoni came up with two outs and faced Shawn Armstrong. Down in the count, he delivered a clutch RBI single to left, scoring Arozarena by a hair. The play was challenged but upheld, giving Seattle a 7-6 lead.</p><p>This game was pivotal in the current AL West standings. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-julio-rodriguez-launches-2nd-deck-homer-vs-twins">The Mariners improved</a> to 42-39, 6.5 games behind the Houston Astros and ahead of both the Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers. Every win matters in such a tight division, and this one, saved and secured by Mastrobuoni, may carry momentum into the upcoming stretch.</p><p>The contest also marked a test of bullpen endurance. Seven pitchers were used by Seattle, with Eduard Bazardo earning the win by closing out the final two innings. The game featured dramatic swings and highlighted just how impactful extra innings MLB contests can be.</p><p>With players like Mastrobuoni stepping up, the Mariners showed they’re not just contenders—they’re resilient. The 29-year-old third baseman has taken a winding path to Seattle. After debuting with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2022, he spent time with the Chicago Cubs (2023–2024) before joining the Mariners in 2025. As of now, he owns a career .229 batting average with 2 home runs across 371 MLB at-bats. In the minors, he’s posted a strong .281 average in over 2,500 at-bats. A product of the University of Nevada, Mastrobuoni was a 14th-round pick by the Rays in 2016</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is redefining what is possible at the catcher position, while also giving Aaron Judge true competition in what was initially supposed to be one of the least suspenseful MVP races in recent MLB history. The Big Dumper is on pace to break the New York Yankees superstar’s American League home run record, thereby cementing his 2025 campaign as the greatest a backstop has ever produced.</p><p>He is not limiting himself to regular season accolades, however. Raleigh is determined to win the ultimate power competition. The Big Dumper is officially <a href="https://x.com/BNightengale/status/1938645346609189081" rel="noopener">entering the HR Derby</a>, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. His 32 dingers are four better than reigning MVPs Judge and Shohei Ohtani, who are tied for second with 28.</p><p>Although this marks the third consecutive season in which Raleigh has cleared the 30-homer mark, he is experiencing a year <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-drops-humble-admission-after-joining-legendary-list">full of milestones</a>. The former third-round draft pick is already a lock for his first Silver Slugger, is trending toward his first 40-plus HR campaign and will soon represent the Mariners and AL in the MLB All-Star Game for the first time in his big-league career. Now, he will also compete in his first derby, and vie for his first long-ball crown in Atlanta Braves’ Truist Park.</p><p>The 28-year-old joins 2023 National League MVP and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/atlanta-braves/braves-news-ronald-acuna-jr-makes-massive-home-run-derby-decision">local favorite Ronald Acuna Jr.</a> as the only announced participants in the annual spectacle. A Cal Raleigh win would carry great significance amid his team’s consistent inconsistencies.</p><h2><b>Mariners fans need something to latch onto after another uneven first half</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cal-Raleigh2_4fdda5.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite presently owning sole possession of the final AL Wild Card slot, the Mariners (41-39) still look quite vulnerable overall. Their lineup remains shaky and top pitchers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby are still trying to find their footing after each serving lengthy stints on the injured list earlier this season. Fans will implode if they watch their M’s fall bitterly short of the playoffs yet again — missed the postseason by just one game in each of the last two years.</p><p>Raleigh is doing everything possible to propel this club toward October, while also giving fans something to enjoy just in case Seattle stumbles down the stretch. Besides the aforementioned 32 home runs, which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-breaks-hr-record-catchers-all-star-break">shatters Johnny Bench’s pre-All-Star break catcher record</a> of 28, he has a .275 batting average, MLB-best 69 RBIs, a .380 on-base percentage, .651 slugging percentage and 1.031 OPS through 79 games. He is not just making a huge impact with his bat, though.</p><p>Raleigh ranks in the top-10 in catcher framing runs and is the reigning Platinum Glove winner. Considering all he has done behind the plate, and from both sides of it, many people believe this man deserves ultimate recognition from MVP voters. There is still a long way to go before such matters can be settled, but Raleigh has already put together a magnificent season in just three month’s time.</p><p>He will try to help the Mariners get back in the win column in Friday’s road game versus the Texas Rangers (40-41). Perhaps the Big Dumper can give fans another preview of what they may experience in large doses at the 2025 Home Run Derby.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They are chasing the Houston Astros for first place in the American League West division, but they do hold a Wild Card spot at the moment. That playoff spot is far from secure, though. If Seattle wants to make it back to the postseason in 2025, they will have to make some important moves at the MLB trade deadline.</p><p>The Mariners are on the cusp, and the next few weeks will determine what the team will decide to do at the deadline. However, as it stands right now, it looks like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumors-phillies-mariners-cubs-padres-aggressive-trade-deadline-buyers">Seattle will be buyers</a>. In fact, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumors-cubs-5-teams-red-sox-rafael-devers-trade-giants-deal">Seattle was in the conversation for Rafael Devers</a> before the slugging third baseman was traded to the San Francisco Giants. That interest alone should show what the Mariners plan to do in July.</p><p>With their approach at the deadline being to improve their team immediately, Seattle has some team needs they have to address. Below are two players the Mariners could trade for that would make them World Series contenders.</p><h2><b>Mariners team needs</b></h2><p>The Mariners are solid on the mound. Logan Gilbert is officially back, and he gives the Mariners a third starting pitcher they can truly count on. Not having George Kirby has hurt the team, while Emerson Hancock and Bryce Miller have not been great. With that said, there are two starting pitcher spots that the Mariners could improve upon. Seattle adding a starting pitcher would be beneficial.</p><p>The hitters need to improve drastically, as well. This is especially true at the corner infield positions. The team just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-seattle-makes-surprising-rowdy-tellez-roster-decision">DFA’d Rowdy Tellez</a>, so first base is a huge need. Donovan Solano is not having a bad year, but Seattle could use someone with more power. A first baseman should be at the top of the list in Seattle.</p><p>There are more trades the Mariners could make to improve their roster, but these seem to be the two biggest needs.</p><h2><b>The Mariners should make an attempt for Josh Naylor</b></h2><p>Josh Naylor is a <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/player/_/id/17627/josh-naylor" rel="noopener">free agent after this season</a>. He is also one of the best pure hitters in baseball right now. It is yet to be seen whether or not the Arizona Diamondbacks will be open to a trade for the star first baseman, but he would make an impact in Seattle’s lineup immediately.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-trade-proposal-lands-josh-naylor-diamondbacks">Mariners have already been linked to Naylor</a> quite a few times. On the season, Naylor is slashing .307/.363/.469 with 10 home runs, 53 RBI, 10 stolen bases, just 41 strikeouts, and 42 runs scored in 76 games played. He is one of the better first baseman in the MLB, and it would take a lot to bring him to Seattle.</p><p>Because of his contract, his age, and his skill, the price for Naylor is most likely high. Seattle would have to give up a little bit to get him. Still, he is worth the price.</p><p>Despite the price tag, if the Mariners want to win this year, they will have to go out and get someone like Naylor to fill the hole at first base in the lineup.</p><h2><b>The Mariners should trade for Sandy Alcantara</b></h2><p>It is no secret that the Miami Marlins are struggling significantly this season. They are in fourth place in the National League East, and there are quite a few players they can get a pretty good return for. One of those players is right-handed starter, Sandy Alcantara.</p><p>On the season, Alcantara has a 6.69 ERA through 15 games started. He has thrown 74 innings, struck out 59, and opponents are hitting just under .260 off him. Those stats do not seem great, but Alcantara is slowly starting to regain his star form. In the month of June, Alcantara has an ERA under 3.00, and he has struck out 19 batters while walking only five. Along with that, he is holding opponents to a .207 batting average.</p><p>With his performance starting to get better, the Mariners would be smart to trade for him while they can. Seattle could use another starting pitcher, and Sandy Alcantara would fit into their rotation nicely.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is the leader of Dan Wilson’s offense as the Mariners try to track down the Houston Astros. After Thursday’s gamer against the Minnesota Twins, he will have more responsibility. He will start at catcher with Mitch Garver out.</p><p>The 34-year-old started against the Twins, but was hit in the mouth by a foul tip in the fifth inning. He left the game and did not return. Wilson and the Mariners do not know how severe the injury is. For the time being, Garver is considered day-to-day on Seattle’s injury report.</p><p>According to The Seattle Times Mariners reporter Adam Jude, Raleigh will move <a href="https://x.com/A_Jude/status/1938370364179914799" rel="noopener">from designated hitter to catcher</a>. The eventual American League All-Star catcher will go back to his primary position while Jorge Polanco takes his spot at DH.</p><p>Raleigh finished the game behind the plate, but was not able to spark a comeback. The Mariners lost to the Twins 10-1, their fifth loss in their last ten games. Seattle is now more than five games behind the Astros in their division and cling to the last wild card spot in the American League.</p><p>Raleigh is in the middle of a below average season in the field. However, his excellence at the plate has more than made up for it. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-cal-raleigh-pace-break-bonkers-barry-bonds-home-run-record">Wilson’s catcher is on pace to break Barry Bonds’ home run record</a> and leads the league in power. With players like Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge in Major League Baseball, Raleigh’s efforts are even more impressive.</p><p>Raleigh remains one of the best players in the league this season. With Garver out, he has a chance to plug holes both in the order and in the field. Wilson hopes that he can give his team enough to help them find their way back into the top of the playoff picture.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Reliever Zach Pop, a 28-year-old right-hander, surrendered eight runs in the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins, a collapse that hasn’t been seen from a reliever vs. Minnesota since 2002. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-bryan-woo-blunt-5-word-admission-dreadful-slump">The Mariners, clinging to a Wild Card spot</a> after falling 10-1 to the Twins, now face growing questions about their bullpen stability.</p><p>The rough outing was confirmed by The Athletic’s Aaron Gleeman, who shared the <a href="https://x.com/AaronGleeman/status/1938378455697272844" rel="noopener">historical context</a> on X (formerly known as Twitter).</p><p>“#MNTwins scored eight runs vs. Mariners reliever Zach Pop in the sixth inning.</p><p>The last reliever to allow more than eight runs to the Twins was Cleveland right-hander Charles Nagy in 2002.”</p><p>Before Thursday, Pop had delivered three solid outings for the Mariners, posting a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 4.1 innings. But in just his fourth appearance, everything unraveled—an eight-run collapse that sent his ERA soaring to 13.50.</p><p>Seattle’s current situation in the AL Wild Card race leaves little room for error. At 41-39, they’re tied for the second Wild Card spot, with Cleveland, the Angels, and Rangers all within two games. With just over a month until the trade deadline, every game now carries added weight. The team’s +20 run differential speaks to solid overall play, but bullpen fatigue and inconsistency threaten to undo that momentum.</p><p>Complicating matters further is the teams’ upcoming schedule. With a must-win series ahead the Texas Rangers, and six teams within 3.5 games of the final Wild Card slot, manager Scott Servais must quickly reassess bullpen roles. Whether Pop stays in the mix remains to be seen, but one thing is clear, Seattle cannot afford another implosion.</p><p>In particular, the fallout from the right hander’s latest outing has intensified the spotlight on late-inning reliability. His eight-run meltdown wasn’t just a statistical outlier—it served as a wake-up call for a team teetering between postseason hope and deadline uncertainty.</p><p>While this outing may prove to be a blip in Pop’s season, its timing and historical context make it stand out. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-lose-yet-another-starter-to-injury">The Mariners’ bullpen has been leaned on heavily</a> in recent weeks, and this latest collapse has reignited concerns about depth and dependability. Seattle’s postseason hopes will hinge on their ability to stabilize the late innings and avoid more moments like this.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite their excellence at the plate, Seattle is still in second place in the American League West behind the Houston Astros by almost five games.</p><p>The Mariners have taken a big step forward this season and are en route to their best record since 2022. Julio Rodriguez, Raleigh, and Randy Arozarena have stepped up to make up for pitching injuries. Now, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-lose-yet-another-starter-to-injury">Bryce Miller is the last starter on Dan Wilson’s injured list</a>. Once his starting rotation is completely healthy, Seattle’s manager will see just how good his team can be.</p><p>Wilson and the Mariners are in the heart of the AL wild card race. After going 7-3 in their last ten games, Seattle has started to put distance between them and the teams behind them. They are one of many contenders looking to make a big splash at the deadline to add one more bat to their order. The Mariners even spoke with the Red Sox about Rafael Devers last week.</p><p>Seattle wants to make the most of their hot start to the season. Despite a dominant stretch from Houston, the Mariners have a chance to catch the Astros in the standings. However, getting a boost at the deadline would vault them into a different level of contention.</p><p>Here are three players Seattle should put on the trade block before the deadline.</p><h2>Catcher Mitch Garver</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Seattle-Mariners-dugout-HR.jpg"><figcaption>Steven Bisig-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Mitch Garver entered the season as a spot starter behind Raleigh. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-cal-raleigh-pace-break-bonkers-barry-bonds-home-run-record">Wilson’s catcher on pace to break Barry Bonds’ HR record</a>, Garver’s role has become much, much smaller. At 34 years old, Garver provides Seattle with a solid option if Raleigh gets hurt or wants to move to designated hitter. At this point, though, the nine-year veteran is expendable.</p><p>Garver has not played anywhere near his standards this season. It could be a sign that his age is starting to catch up with him. There are older catchers having success in Major League Baseball this season, but they are rare. Behind Raleigh, Wilson’s veteran has been able to cruise as the backup.</p><p>At this point in his career, though, Garver could be looking for a bigger role. He has not said anything about moving on from the Mariners, but a move could benefit both sides. Garver is in the final year of his two-year deal with Seattle, making him a good rental option for a contender struggling at catcher.</p><p>Wilson had high hopes for Garver when he joined Seattle in 2024, but his numbers have underwhelmed. If he maintains his current numbers, 2024 and 2025 will be near career-lows in <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/33667/mitch-garver" rel="noopener">batting average and OPS</a>.</p><h2>First Baseman Luke Raley</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Seattle-makes-roster-moves-after-Luke-Raley-injury-diagnosis.jpg"><figcaption>© Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Luke Raley joined the Mariners in 2024 after two seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays. More than 60 games into the season, has not played enough to truly showcase his skills. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-trade-proposal-ryan-ohearn-orioles">Seattle’s trade targets include multiple first baseman around the league</a>, which could be writing on the wall for Raley.</p><p>The infielder is in the fifth year of his career. However, his numbers have not displayed the growth that Wilson wants to see. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-make-roster-moves-after-luke-raley-injury-diagnosis">Raley’s absence from the lineup with an oblique injury</a> could give him the benefit of the doubt in his managers eyes.</p><p>While his contract is affordable, the outfielder-turned first baseman simply is not hitting good enough to secure his spot on the roster. Almost every team ahead of Seattle in the AL standings have an offensively-gifted first baseman fueling their team’s power.</p><p>In order for the Mariners to put themselves in the best position to compete, they need to be at their best across the diamond. Raley is also a below average fielder at first base, something Seattle cannot afford in the postseason. High-level first baseman could be on the market, and Raley leaving could be the price of doing business for the Mariners.</p><h2>Third Baseman Jorge Polanco</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Seattle-Mariners-designated-hitter-Jorge-Polanco-7-hits-a-two-run-single-.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>At the plate, Polanco is not having a bad season at all. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-jorge-polanco-player-of-the-week-history-1998">Seattle’s designated hitter was named AL Player of the Week</a> at the beginning of the season. He has maintained his production throughout the season, even as his role has changed. He now serves as the Mariners’ DH and is one of the pillars of the offense. However, he could be the first player to go in any big deal that Seattle makes.</p><p>Wilson has relied on Polanco to provide power outside of Raleigh in his lineup. Despite his success in 2025, the 12-year veteran is not safe at the deadline. The Rafael Devers trade proved that stars could be moved from their teams later this summer. For a Mariners team looking to bring in a difference-maker, Polanco could be the catalyst.</p><p>Giancarlo Stanton, Luis Robert Jr., and other former All-Stars could be on the trade block as the July 31 deadline gets closer. Wilson and Seattle cannot afford not to explore all of their options when it comes to improving the roster. Losing Polanco would be a tough blow. However, if the move results in a World Series title, it is absolutely worth it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Seattle put up an additional three runs after Julio Rodriguez’s big home run. All signs point toward the organization earning its 40th win of the season, keeping them firmly in the mix of the AL West.</p><p>Rodriquez’s homer on Monday is the 11th of the season for him. He’s been solid so far, as the Mariners have relied on his bat since he joined the roster in 2022. Julio Rodriguez has been lights out since winning the Rookie of the Year award that season, giving Seattle a true star in the outfield.</p><p>Entering Monday’s matchup against the Twins, Rodriguez owned a .252 batting average and .314 OBP while recording 78 hits, 10 home runs, and 35 RBIs. Each of those numbers should go up a tad once this game ends.</p><p>Getting back on track in terms of hitting home runs would be huge for Rodriguez and Seattle. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/mariners-news-cal-raleigh-breaks-hr-record-catchers-all-star-break">Mariners have largely leaned on catcher Cal Raleigh</a>, as he’s already broken the record for most home runs for a catcher before the All-Star break. He’s on pace to potentially hit over 60 home runs this season.</p><p>So, if Julio Rodriguez can start going yard more often, the Mariners might become one of the more potent offenses in baseball. Especially if Rodriguez is launching the ball over 440 feet like he did on Monday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
