Story summary

Drew Rasmussen took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before Austin Wells broke it up with a double down the right-field line in the Yankees' 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the ALDS. Wells was thrown out at third, ending New York's best scoring chance. Rasmussen struck out 10 and allowed only one hit and two walks over eight innings. The Rays scored their only run on a home run by Jonathan Aranda off Gerrit Cole. Giancarlo Stanton, who had been sidelined for five months due to calf injuries, made his first at-bat since April 24 but struck out in the ninth inning against Bryan Baker. The Yankees are without Aaron Judge and have struggled to score runs despite having collected 26 hits in their previous two-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox. The series is now tied 1-1 after the Rays won Game 2 as well, with Rasmussen again pitching effectively. Up next for the Yankees is Cam Schlittler for Game 3.
