Giancarlo Stanton couldn’t save the Yankees in the ninth inning. Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger couldn’t, either. And so they fell to the Rays, 1-0, in Game 1 of the ALDS after Drew Rasmussen threw 7 \u2154 no-hit innings and eight shutout innings.<\/p>\n
The Yankees finished with just one hit, a double by Austin Wells, but his brutal baserunning gaffe erased any potential for that to turn into a run. Bryan Baker pitched the ninth for the Rays to record the save. And the Yankees, after erupting for 18 runs in the wild-card series against the Red Sox, are shut out to start the next round of the postseason.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Aranda’s home run off Gerrit Cole produced the lone run for the Rays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giancarlo Stanton couldn’t save the Yankees in the ninth inning.
