Seattle Mariners' catcher Cal Raleigh is so hot at the plate right now that he can get a hit without even playing a game.

Per a notice from the @ScoringChanges social media account, Raleigh is now being credited with an extra hit in the April 17 contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Raleigh hit a looper in the infield that went under the glove of Elly De La Cruz. It was originally ruled an error after it scooted into center field. The Mariners went onto win the game in extra innings.

The change moves Raleigh's batting average from .233 to .244 and ups his RBI total from 15 to 16. As of this posting, the change has been reflected on MLB.com but not on Baseball Reference.

Raleigh, 28, is also tied atop the MLB home run leaderboard with nine. He hit a home run in Sunday's win over the Toronto Blue Jays and is in a position to challenge last year's career-high home run total of 34. In addition to his offensive performance, he's one of the best defenders in baseball. He won the Gold and Platinum Glove Awards last season.

The Mariners are 12-10 this season and enjoying an off day on Monday before opening up a new series against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday afternoon.

First pitch is set for 3:45 p.m. PT as Brayan Bello pitches for Boston against Bryce Miller. Bello will be making his first start of the season after being on the injured list with a shoulder problem. Miller is 1-2 with a 3.43 ERA.
