The Yankees nearly got no-hit and committed a costly baserunning blunder in a Game 1 loss to the Rays.
The New York Yankees suffered an embarrassing start to the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. In Game 1, Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen carried a near no-hitter into late in the eighth inning, keeping the Yankees hitless until catcher Austin Wells finally broke it up with two outs for New York's only hit.
The Yankees followed up with a sloppy defensive display in Game 2, committing four errors—including three in the first inning—to fall 5-2 and trail 2-0 in the best-of-five series. Manager Aaron Boone and his team now face elimination heading back to the Bronx, needing three consecutive wins to stay alive.
