ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 Unfortunately for the Yankees, Red Sox manager Chad Tracy was not around Saturday night to prematurely pull Drew Rasmussen.<\/p>\n
Instead, a bona fide Yankee killer kept dominating inning after inning, toying with the fourth no-hitter <\/a>in postseason history. He didn\u2019t achieve that immortality.<\/p>\n What he did do is lay down this gauntlet: Good luck to the Yankees getting to three wins first in a series in which Rasmussen can start twice.<\/p>\n Think about the pressure on Cam Schlittler<\/a> and the rest of the team for Monday night in Game 2 to even this series before it goes to The Bronx. Think about the stress now to win every non-Rasmussen start after he held the Yankees hitless for seven innings en route to eight shutout innings in a 1-0 victory in this ALDS opener<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
