Rasmussen's dominance overwhelms Cole as Rays take ALDS Game 1

Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning Saturday night as the Rays beat the Yankees 1-0 in Game 1 of the AL Division Series at Tropicana Field. Jonathan Aranda homered to provide the game's only run. According to multiple outlets, Gerrit Cole's performance couldn't match Rasmussen's brilliance, with the Yankees mustering just one hit.

Aaron Boone and the Yankees addressed Rasmussen's dominant outing after the loss, per one report. The club also used Giancarlo Stanton in the ninth inning. One outlet noted the Rays have a pitcher the Yankees "have had a hard time solving" in Rasmussen, raising the question of whether this represents the best postseason start in franchise history.
