For the 3rd straight game, the Phillies broke out their bats to score in double digits. And for the 2nd straight night in The Big Apple, the offensive onslaught was led by rookie 3rd baseman Maikel Franco in a 10-6 victory over the host New York Yankees.
The Yanks broke out to an early lead in this one as the home side scored solo runs in each of the first three frames off Phils’ starter Sean O’Sullivan. In the first, Alex Rodriguez‘ sacrifice fly scored Brett Gardner, who had led off the game with a double and moved to third on a grounder.
