John and Gossage Blank Dodgers, 3-0

Tommy John held the Dodgers scoreless on just three hits for seven innings, and reliever Rich "Goose" Gossage--bouncing back from a lackluster outing Tuesday night--struck out three in the last two frames as the Yanks downed the Dodgers 3-0. The Yanks now own a commanding 2-0 lead as the best-of-seven World Series moves to Los Angeles for game three on Friday.

New York scored an unearned run in the fifth off starter Burt Hooton and added two more off reliever Dave Stewart on three singles, an intentional walk and a sacrifice fly.
