Drew Rasmussen one-hit the Yankees in ALDS Game 1 and Aaron Judge is still out. Will New York be eliminated by Oct 10?

The Tampa Bay Rays eliminated the New York Yankees with a three-game sweep in the American League Division Series, clinching Game 3 by a 4-3 score on Oct. 7 at Yankee Stadium. Victor Mesa Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run home run off Griffin Jax in the sixth inning, and Ryan Vilade also went deep for Tampa Bay. New York's last threat came later that inning, when Anthony Volpe appeared to tie the game with a shot into the left-field stands, but a fan reaching over the wall forced a video review; umpires ruled the ball would not have cleared the fence and awarded Volpe an RBI double instead, leaving the Rays' lead intact. Tampa Bay had won Game 1 1-0 on a third-inning homer by Jonathan Aranda off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, then took Game 2 5-2 after New York committed four errors. The sweep was the first in Yankees franchise history in a best-of-five Division Series and came with Aaron Judge sidelined. The community underestimated Tampa Bay, with only 33% of voters predicting a Yankees elimination by Oct. 10, but the Rays finished the job three days early. Tampa Bay, which entered the postseason with the American League's best record, advanced to host the ALCS opener on Oct. 12 against the winner of the Guardians-White Sox series.
