During Saturday night's ALDS Game 1 between the Yankees and Rays, Knicks player Josh Hart expressed his frustration on X when catcher Austin Wells attempted to stretch a double into a triple but was thrown out at third base, breaking up Drew Rasmussen’s no-hitter attempt. Hart specifically criticized Wells for going to third despite the coach signaling otherwise, writing, "WHY ARE YOU GOING FOR THIRD??". The article highlights the impact of this decision on Yankees fans and discusses the team's need to improve their hitting performance in Game 2.

Story summary
Drew Rasmussen took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and struck out 10 Yankees in an 8-inning complete game shutout, allowing only one hit. The Rays won Game 1 of their ALDS series against the Yankees 1-0, with Jonathan Aranda hitting the lone home run off Gerrit Cole. Austin Wells broke up Rasmussen's no-hitter with a double but was thrown out at third base trying to stretch it into a triple, ending New York's best scoring chance. Giancarlo Stanton struck out in his first plate appearance since April 24 due to calf injuries. The Yankees missed key bats like Aaron Judge and were held to just one hit despite having scored 18 runs against Boston in the previous series. Up next for Game 2, Tampa Bay will start Yonny Chirinos while New York counters with prospect Cam Schlittler. Rasmussen's dominant outing highlights the challenge ahead for the Yankees who failed to solve him again after he nearly no-hit them earlier this season.
