Beating the Athletics for the third time in a row this season, Pat Dobson allowed only two hits and pitched the Yankees to a 3-0 victory. The Yankees nicked Ken Holtzman for an initial run in the second inning on a double by Thurman Munson and single by Lou Piniella. Their other tallies followed in the eighth on a double by Sandy Alomar, his first hit in a Yankee uniform, and singles by Roy White, Walt Williams and Bobby Murcer. [The Sporting News]
