Drew Rasmussen was absolutely locked in Saturday night, carrying the Tampa Bay Rays to a dominant Game One victory over the New York Yankees in the ALDS. Rasmussen and reliever Bryan Baker combined for a one-hit shutout, leaving the Yankee lineup completely helpless and giving Tampa a commanding series lead right out of the gate.
Shifting to college football, Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop made sure everyone knew what was at stake for him personally against Auburn. Bishop revealed that Auburn coach Alex Golesh, who previously served as Tennessee's offensive coordinator, was one of the reasons he didn't receive a scholarship coming out of high school. Safe to say Bishop showed up motivated, and the Vols came away with the win.
And in the USMNT versus Mexico international friendly, American soccer fans were watching closely as Gio Reyna took the starting lineup for what marks his sixth consecutive start for club or country — a streak he hasn't seen since two thousand twenty. The match was drawing massive interest on both sides of the rivalry, with Mexico supporters outnumbering US fans at the venue four to one.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
