Drew Rasmussen gem puts Rays up 1-0 in ALDS, leaves Yankees looking for answers
Drew Rasmussen nearly threw a no-hitter as the Rays beat the Yankees 1-0 in Game 1 of the ALDS. He's a pitcher the Yankees have "had a hard time solving."
Tropicana Field erupted as Jonathan Aranda's 417-foot homer put the Tampa Bay Rays up 1-0 in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, who heard the celebration through the bathroom door, handled his task, holding the Yankees hitless for 7⅔ innings. The Yankees' lone hit came with two outs in the eighth inning, when Austin Wells doubled and was thrown out at third base.
Rasmussen's performance, which included a league-leading 10 strikeouts, tied him for the longest individual bid since 2010.
