Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve recorded the 250th home run of his Major League career on Sunday, opening the scoring in Houston’s victory over the New York Yankees. The milestone shot reinforces the 35-year-old’s standing as one of the game’s most productive postseason and regular-season hitters and helped the Astros secure an important win in their push for playoff positioning. On the same day, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh belted his league-leading 45th homer, moving within three of tying the single-season record for a catcher. Raleigh’s latest blast widens his lead in the 2025 home-run race and keeps Seattle in contention in the American League West.
