CINCINNATI — Switch-hitting catcher Cal Raleigh homered from both sides of the plate to reach 100 home runs for his career, and Bryce Miller threw five dominant innings in the Mariners’ 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Wednesday night.

Raleigh, in his 482nd game, is the second-fastest player to reach the 100-homer milestone in Mariners history. Alex Rodriguez did it in 471 games.

Using his new torpedo bat since last Friday, Raleigh has hit five homers in five games, and the Mariners (9-9) climbed back to .500 with their first road win of the season.

This was his 11th multi-homer game and fourth game with home runs from both sides of the plate.

Miller threw five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits with two walks and eight strikeouts in his best start of the season so far.

Miller, who talked of some general arm soreness after his last start, was pulled after 78 pitches.

Andrés Muñoz picked up his MLB-leading seventh save in seven tries.

Mariners rookie third baseman Ben Williamson, after recording a hit in his first big league plate appearance on Tuesday, picked up his first big league RBI in his first plate appearance Wednesday when he sent a soft single to center field off Reds starter Nick Martinez.

Randy Arozarena laced a double off the top of the wall in left field in the first inning, driving in Julio Rodriguez for the Mariners’ first run in the first inning.

The Reds scored all three off their runs in the seventh inning off Mariners reliever Troy Taylor, who was making his season debut after being activated off the injured list Monday.
