Rasmussen Has No-Hit Bid for 7 2/3 Innings, Rays Open AL Division Series with a 1-0 Win over Yanks
Drew Rasmussen struck out 10 and carried a no-hit bid into the eighth as Tampa Bay opened the ALDS with a one-run win.
- On Saturday, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning of American League Division Series Game 1, helping the Rays secure a 1-0 lead over the New York Yankees at Tropicana Field.
- Jonathan Aranda provided the Rays' only run with a third-inning solo home run off Yankees starter Gerrit Cole, while New York's lineup notably lacked three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge due to a calf injury.
- Rasmussen struck out 10 batters and retired 15 consecutive hitters, throwing 69 of 101 pitches for strikes while recording 23 swings and misses against the Yankees lineup.
- Catcher Austin Wells ended the no-hit bid with a two-out double in the eighth inning, but Wells was thrown out at third base attempting to stretch the hit into a triple.
- Postseason no-hitters remain rare, with only three in history: Don Larsen in 1956, Roy Halladay in 2010, and four Houston pitchers in 2022, while the Yankees' bats have struck out 10 times so far in this series.
