Dodgers fall to Yankees as misfortune looms in 3-0 loss
Dodgers say bad luck plagued their World Series second game after a string of hard-hit outs. Milbourne’s two-out double in the fifth and a costly error by Davey Lopes set the stage for New York’s eighth-inning cushion. Burt Hooton struggled, leaving Los Angeles facing a 2-0 Series deficit ahead of Friday’s Game Three at Dodger Stadium.
