LOS ANGELES--Orel Hershiser did it all, holding Oakland's big bashers to three hits and getting three himself last night as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Athletics, 6-0, and took a stunning 2-0 lead in the World Series.
The Dodgers scored first in six of the seven games against the Mets and made things easy for Hershiser by scoring a run in the first off loser Ron Darling. Los Angeles then chased him with five runs in the second as New York made three sloppy fielding plays.
The Dodgers finished the regular season 94-67, a 43-game improvement over last year's 73-89 record. Only six times previously has an NL team finished 15 games or more below .500 one season, and rallied to finish 20 games or more above .500 the next. The Dodgers...
Steve Sax, 12-for-40 lifetime against Darling, got the Dodgers started with a single and moved to third on Mickey Hatcher's double down the leftfield line. Kirk Gibson, playing with a pulled left hamstring, then hit a scrifice fly to deep center field.
The Mets and Darling self-destructed in the Dodgers' big second inning.
