The New York Yankees were limited to just one hit by Drew Rasmussen in Game 1, and they'll need more from their Aaron Judge-less offense in Game 2 to get back into this series.
Jonathan Aranda's solo shot in the third inning off Gerrit Cole proved to be the only run the Rays needed to take an early lead in the series. They'll face Cam Schlittler tonight - the favorite for the AL Cy Young award.
New York will face another righty tonight: Freddy Peralta. He was acquired from the New York Mets at the trade deadline and has a 0.96 ERA in his last five starts for Tampa.
Austin Wells was the lone Yankee to record a hit in Game 1. Lefties Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Luis Garcia Jr., and more will have an opportunity to do some damage tonight against Peralta and they'll need to come through to stay in it.
