Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen delivered a dominant pitching performance, carrying a no-hitter into the top of the eighth inning while striking out 10 batters. With two outs in the eighth, Yankees catcher Austin Wells finally broke up the no-hitter by lining a hit down the right-field line.

However, what should have been a clean double turned into a costly mistake: Wells aggressively tried to stretch the hit into a triple, ignoring a stop sign from his third-base coach. A crisp relay throw from the Rays’ defense nailed him at third base, instantly ending the inning and wiping out New York’s best scoring threat of the game. That hit turned out to be the Yankees’ only hit of the night as the Rays closed out the 1–0 shutout to take a 1–0 lead in the best-of-five series.
