August 26, 1985: Dodgers (76-50) at Mets (82-43)

Orel Hershiser came through with a solid 9 innings and Mike Scioscia hit 2 doubles and had 2 RBI at SHEA STADIUM as the spectacular Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Mets 3 to 0. 

Los Angeles promptly took the lead in their half of the first plating one baserunner. That early scoring held up. Los Angeles had 11 hits for the night. 

For Hershiser(16-8) it was his 5th shutout this year. Ed Lynch(17-5) took the loss. He was touched for 10 hits and 3 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. 

'Hershiser pitched a gem of a game', Davey Johnson recounted. 'He kept our batters off balance the entire game.'
