Drew Rasmussen's No-Hit Bid Ends in Eighth Inning as Rays Hold Lead Over Yankees

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the New York Yankees before New York recorded a hit, breaking up the bid, according to live coverage of the game.

The Rays entered the latter innings with a lead over the Yankees, a margin they held even after Rasmussen's no-hit bid ended. Details on the exact score and the sequence of the eighth-inning hit were not specified in the available coverage.

A notable bid, cut short

No-hitters, and bids that reach the eighth inning without a hit allowed, are uncommon in Major League Baseball and typically draw heightened attention from broadcasters and fans following the game as it unfolds.

Rasmussen's effort kept Yankees batters off the hit column for the first seven-plus innings of the contest, a stretch that put the Rays in a strong position as the game moved toward its conclusion.

The Rays' lead over the Yankees remained intact following the hit, according to the live update, though the final result of the game was not confirmed in the source material.

Both clubs continue their schedules with additional matchups to follow.
