Rasmussen has no-hit bid for 7 2/3 innings, Rays open AL Division Series with a 1-0 win over Yanks

Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and struck out 10 batters, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 1-0 victory against the New York Yankees in their opening AL Division Series matchup on Saturday night. Jonathan Aranda provided the game's sole offense by hitting a solo home run off Gerrit Cole, while Bryan Baker secured the final three outs in the ninth to earn the save.

Austin Wells broke up the no-hitter with a two-out double in the eighth before being thrown out trying to stretch the play. Cole allowed just one run and five hits across five innings in his first postseason appearance since undergoing elbow surgery in March 2025.

The contest took place at Tropicana Field, marking the venue's first postseason action since structural damage occurred during a hurricane the previous year.
