Drew Rasmussen Named Rays' Game 1 Starter for ALCS

The Tampa Bay Rays have officially named ace Drew Rasmussen as their starting pitcher for Game 1 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. Rasmussen earned the nod following a dominant performance in the ALDS against the New York Yankees, where he struck out 10 batters while allowing just one hit and two walks over eight scoreless innings. Tampa Bay's sweep of New York allowed them to align Rasmussen perfectly for Game 1.
