He picked them both up Wednesday against the Rockies, blasting No. 59 in the first inning and No. 60 in the bottom of the eighth.
He hit his 58th home run of the season in a 7-3 victory against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on Sept. 21. Raleigh hit a line drive to right field for a two-run home run.
Earlier this month, Raleigh's 55th homer broke Mickey Mantle 's record for most home runs in a season by a switch-hitter.
