Solid pitching from Yankee hurler Jim Beattie, who notched eight strikeouts on the night, and poor fielding by the Dodgers gave the Yankees their third straight victory here.
The Dodgers got off to a good start when second baseman Davey Lopes blooped a single into right field on the third pitch of the game. With one out, Reggie Smith punched a long single to right, scoring the fleet-footed Lopes, who had already stolen second.
After the Dodgers had brought in their third pitcher of the night, Charlie Hough, the Yankees came back to inflict more punishment, adding three seventh-inning runs. A Munson single that caromedoff the center field wall accounted for two of those scores.
The Bronx Bombers unleashed "the missiles of October" to embarrass the Los Angeles Dodgers, 12-2, and move to within one game of baseball's World Championship.
Yankee hurler Ed Figueroa will face the Dodgers' Tommy John at 3:30 here tomorrow in Game Four.
