Parker Meadows' Epic Robbery Denies Raleigh Home Run, Mariners Victory
Dramatic Eighth-Inning Play Preserves Tigers' Lead
Seattle, Washington - August 7, 2024
In a heart-stopping moment at T-Mobile Park Wednesday night, Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows leaped at the wall to rob Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh of a go-ahead two-run home run, sending the Mariners to a 6-2 defeat and bringing a dramatic conclusion to the eighth inning.
With the bases loaded and two outs, Raleigh sent a towering drive toward the right-center field wall. As the ball soared, it seemed destined to give the Mariners a 5-4 lead. However, Meadows had other plans. Sprinting with lightning speed, he timed his jump perfectly, extending his glove over the wall and snagging the ball before it could clear for a home run.
The crowd erupted in a thunderous roar as Raleigh was left stunned, circling the bases in disbelief. The Mariners' victory celebration was abruptly cut short, and the Tigers celebrated a crucial defensive play that preserved their lead.
