Start spreading the news: the Yankees are out of answers. New York flatlined in a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night, falling into a 2-0 ALDS hole as the series heads north. Tampa Bay stayed hot after Jon Gruden's pregame hype at Tropicana Field. Needing a bounce-back after Drew Rasmussen’s eight no-hit innings in Game 1, the Yankees instead stumbled right out of the gate. YANKEES LOSE ALDS GAME 1 TO RAYS AS AUSTIN WELLS IS THROWN OUT AT THIRD AFTER BREAKING UP NO-HITTER Three first-inning defensive errors handed Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead when Junior Caminero hit into a fielder's choice off starter Cam Schlittler. It marked the fifth postseason game in Yankees franchise history with four or more errors. New York tied the game in the fourth on a solo home run by Ben Rice off Rays starter Freddy Peralta. The Yankees loaded the bases in the top of the fifth, but Cody Bellinger flied out to the warning track against reliever Cam Booser to leave everyone stranded. ...

Coast Guard personnel exchanged gunfire with people on the Mexican side of the border, an encounter the U.S. military later cited as an example of increased illegal activity as hundreds of U.S. troops and their equipment were repositioned to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley and 500 Mexican Army and National Guard personnel were deployed to its side of the border. Coast Guard personnel were intercepting migrants crossing the Rio Grande River while working with other federal agencies when the initial gunshots came from the Mexican side of the border. Coast Guard personnel then returned fire, officials said on Friday, according to Stars and Stripes. The exchange happened on Sept. 26 while federal agencies conducted joint operations near Garceno, a small town along the border in Starr County, Texas.

Tetairoa McMillan put on a clinic, Bryce Young stayed hot and Dan Campbell’s defense folded in a 58-point track meet. And if you pegged Detroit for a drop-off this season, Sunday night gave you all the validation you needed. Featuring nearly 900 combined yards, Dan Campbell’s squad fell 32-26 to the Panthers in Carolina . The Lions dropped to 2-2 after failing to keep pace with an offense that out-executed them when it mattered most. Panthers top wideout Tetairoa McMillan tormented Detroit's secondary, more than living up to his first-round selection. The 6-foot-5 target hauled in 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. His clutch toe-tap catch on the sideline with under three minutes remaining kept the drive alive and iced the victory for Carolina.
