Playoff Roundup: Yankees narrowly escape getting no-hit

The divisional round got underway with several notable postseason performances as teams battled for early series leads. Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hit bid deep into the contest against the New York Yankees before Austin Wells broke it up, securing a narrow one-run victory for the Tampa Bay Rays despite a strong outing from Gerrit Cole and a home run surrendered to Jonathan Aranda.

Elsewhere, Munetaka Murakami provided the decisive offense with a two-run shot as the Chicago White Sox blanked the Cleveland Guardians three to zero behind six combined pitchers, including a twelve-out save by Grant Taylor and relief work from Jordan Hicks. In other postseason action, Tarik Skubal delivered six strong frames for the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing only a single to Sean Murphy while teammate Kyle Tucker, Teoscar Hernandez, and Max Muncy all launched long balls to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers five to three.

Finally, Jacob Misiorowski battled through early pitch-count struggles across four frames in another playoff matchup.
