Whether you’re Born to Run or Runnin’ on Empty like Stitches, the QSAC 5k Walk/Run for Autism is Saturday at Astoria Park. Registration is at 9 a.m. Race starts at 10:30. QSAC — Quality Services for the Autism Community — supports more than 2,500 children with autism throughout the city.

Game 5 of the ALCS will be the last one played at Yankee Stadium. Pitchers can be intimidated delivering in The Bronx, but Gerrit Cole didn’t succumb to the pressure in Game 3 and “been there done that” Justin Verlander should be just as cool on Friday. Verlander owns a career 1.19 ERA facing the Yanks in the postseason. He was lit up by the Rays on short rest. Rebounded to win Game 2 of this series, allowing two runs over 6 ²/₃ innings with Aaron Judge’s two-run blast the only mistake. James Paxton has made two starts this postseason. No decisions after getting the quick hook in both. Let the Twins, then Astros take early leads, surrendering four runs over just seven frames. Taking the “whistle while you work” Astros for 20 units.

Yankees will have to beat the Astros in three straight. Houston put the Bombers on the brink with a convincing 8-3 win. Terrible Masahiro Tanaka allowing four runs in five innings. George Springer and Carlos Correa hit three-run homers. Yanks made four errors. We made a big one as well. Down -598 rizzutos.
