Cal Raleigh had heartbreaking interview after losing in ALCS

Cal Raleigh gave a heartbreaking interview after his Seattle Mariners lost in the ALCS on Monday night.

The Mariners held a 3-1 lead against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 at Rogers Center in Toronto after six and a half innings. Raleigh continued his monster season by homering in the fifth to put his team up 3-1.

Just when they were nine outs away from making it to their first World Series in franchise history, the pitching fell apart. Bryan Woo allowed a walk and a hit to put two on immediately. After a sacrifice bunt, the Mariners put in Eduardo Bazardo, who gave up a 3-run home run to George Springer to give Toronto a 4-3 lead. The Blue Jays won it by that score to advance to the World Series.

Raleigh was completely gutted after the loss.

“I hate to use the word failure, but’s it’s a failure. We expected to get to the World Series and win the World Series,” the Mariners catcher said.

He was visibly emotional after the season-ending loss.
