The Yankees’ Austin Wells breaks up Rays starter Drew Rasmussen’s no-hit bid in the eighth inning with a hit that ends the no-hitter. Two of the reports describe the moment as occurring with two outs, as Rasmussen’s effort was still intact late in the game.
Despite the hit, Wells is thrown out running to third base on the same play, according to the accounts. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports both frame the sequence as a turning point: Wells prevents a no-hitter, but the baserunning decision limits the Yankees’ potential momentum. Yahoo Sports also emphasizes that the baserunning mistake costs the Yankees something on the offensive end, even as the no-hit bid ends.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core events—Rasmussen’s no-hit bid is broken in the eighth by Wells, and Wells is subsequently erased on the basepaths. The differences center on how they characterize the impact, with one outlet stressing the late-inning disruption and the other focusing more on the consequence of Wells’ decision to advance to third.
