Yankees held hitless through 6 innings by Rays' Drew Rasmussen in Game 1
The Yankees are hitless through six innings as Rays starter Drew Rasmussen dominates in ALDS Game 1.
In the first game of the NLDS between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, Austin Wells had a costly play in the eighth inning. Rays ace Drew Rasmussen had just completed an 8th inning no-hitter, with his team leading 1-0. Wells broke up the no-hit bid with a hard-hit ball down the first-base line, potentially placing a runner in scoring position for the Yankees.
However, Wells kept running and was thrown out at third base by a few feet while attempting to stretch the hit into a triple. The play was initially scored as a double, but it still managed to give the Yankees a hit, bringing them into the game. Despite this missed opportunity, the Rays secured a win with their no-hit bid intact.
For Wells, the play ended his MLB triple streak, which had started on April 6, 2025. Additionally, Wells struggled at the plate throughout the season, posting a .186/.292/.332 batting average.
