Phillies 11, Yankees 6
NEW YORK -- Rookie Maikel Franco capped a five-RBI night with a go-ahead two-run double with nobody out in the top of the ninth inning, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to an 11-6 victory over the New York Yankees Tuesday night.
Philadelphia's second five-run inning began when center fielder Ben Revere opened the ninth with a double to right off Yankees closer Dellin Betances (4-1).
The Phillies tried to sacrifice with second baseman Cesar Hernandez but wound up with another runner when Betances hit him in the left leg with a 2-1 slider and that brought up Franco. After not being thrilled with being hit by a pitch by left-hander Justin Wilson, Franco had a hard ground ball that went off the top of the third baseman Chase Headley's glove and into left field, allowing both runs to score.
After Franco's hit, third baseman Andres Blanco added a bases-clearing triple off rookie Nick Rumbelow.
Franco capped a five-run fourth off left-hander CC Sabathia with an opposite field three-run home run down the right field line. In the first two games of the three-game series, he has three homers and 10 RBIs.
Catcher Cameron Rupp preceded Franco's home run with a two-run home run as the Phillies won their third straight.
After Sean O'Sullivan allowed four solo home runs among 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings, five relievers blanked the Yankees the rest of the way. Ken Giles (3-1) struck out the side in the eighth, stranding Headley on first in the eighth for the win.
The Yankees hit four solo home runs as first baseman Garrett Jones, center fielder Brett Gardner, Headley and designated hitter Alex Rodriguez connected. New York also scored on a sacrifice fly by Rodriguez and a double by left fielder Chris Young.
Sabathia gave the Yankees their third straight start that did not go past the fifth. He allowed six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings following short outings by Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda.
The Yankees quickly took a 1-0 lead in the first as Gardner doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Rodriguez. The Yankees then opened a 2-0 lead when Jones hit the first pitch of the second into the right-field seats for his fourth home run.
Philadelphia made it a one-run game with nobody out in the third when Hernandez doubled over Young's head to bring in Revere but did not score again, and Gardner opened the bottom half with his ninth home run of the season.
The Phillies tied at 3 with one out in the fourth when Rupp homered into the visiting bullpen beyond the left-center field fence. With two outs, they took a 6-3 lead when Franco drove Sabathia's full-count fastball the opposite way into the right-field seats.
New York opened the fifth with consecutive home runs by Headley and Rodriguez and tied the game at 6 on a double by Young.
