Story summary

Drew Rasmussen took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before Austin Wells broke it up with a double in Game 1 of the ALDS between the Yankees and Rays. Despite breaking up Rasmussen's bid for a perfect game, Wells was thrown out at third base on the play, ending New York’s best scoring chance in their 1-0 loss. Rasmussen struck out ten batters and limited the Yankees to one hit over eight innings. Giancarlo Stanton made his first appearance since April, striking out as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. The Rays' Jonathan Aranda homered off Gerrit Cole for the only run of the game. Key Stats: Rasmussen threw 101 pitches with 69 strikes; Yankees scored just one hit after collecting 26 hits against Boston in two games previously. Up Next: Cam Schlittler will start Game 2 for the Yankees. Uncertain Outcomes: Stanton’s return to play was cautiously optimistic, with Aaron Boone noting Baker's effectiveness and difficult pitching style. Wells' base-running mistake highlighted the pressure of high-stakes baseball. The Yankees need to find a way to solve Rasmussen in the series moving forward.
