NEW YORK -- Not many rookies get the green light on a 3-0 count but Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco was the right guy to get that clearance.

Franco capped the best game of his brief career by hitting a two-run home run on that count with one out in the top of the sixth inning and Philadelphia snapped a 12-game road losing streak with an 11-8 victory over the New York Yankees Monday night.

Franco went 4-for-5 with five RBIs. Before his fourth at-bat, Franco had a solo home run in the first, an infield single in the third and a two-run base hit in the fourth that knocked out Yankees right-hander Michael Pineda (8-4).

Franco came up for the fourth time with one out in the sixth and second baseman Cesar Hernandez on first When he got a 3-0 fastball from left-hander Chris Capuano, Franco sent a high-arching fly ball into the left-field bleachers.

"I gave it to him," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It was a good approach on it. It wasn't too big. He stayed on it, drove it. That was a big night for him."

"I like to just hit on 3-0 because when I go out there, I know the pitcher is going to throw me just a fastball right there and I like to swing sometimes," Franco said.

Franco's big swings made him the first Phillies rookie to get five RBIs since first baseman Ryan Howard on Aug. 10, 2005 at Los Angeles. He also was the first rookie to hit two home runs since Darin Ruf on Oct. 2, 2012 at Washington.

The big night also gave him a league-leading 32 hits since June 2. Franco also has 12 hits in his last 24 at-bats and leads Philadelphia with nine home runs and 24 RBIs since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley May 15.

"He's been our most consistent and productive hitter on a daily basis with driving the ball and stinging it," Sandberg said. "He's been the guy for a couple of weeks now."

Franco was not the only contributor for the Phillies, who stopped the 13th road losing streak of at least 12 games in team history and first since Aug. 28-Sept. 14, 1999.

Howard added a two-run single in the third when Philadelphia took a 4-2 lead and Hernandez added a two-run double in a four-run fourth that extended the lead to 8-2.

"He's got everything you look for in a young player," said Philadelphia starter Kevin Correia, who allowed five runs and eight hits in four innings. "He's got similarities to (Albert) Pujols and his mechanics are pretty amazing at this point in his career. I heard how good he was and now he's showing it."

Added Howard: "He's making them throw strikes and he's hammering them."

Center fielder Ben Revere finished off Philadelphia's eighth road win in 36 games with an RBI single in the ninth.

The Yankees lost for the third time in their last 14 road games even though they put the tying run on deck in the ninth against Jonathan Papelbon.

Catcher Brian McCann hit a solo home run and left fielder Brett Gardner hit a three-run home run off Phillies right-hander Kevin Correia. McCann also had a sacrifice fly, right fielder Carlos Beltran added an RBI double and first baseman Garrett Jones added a two-run double in the ninth that made it 11-8.

Correia did not qualify for the win per official scoring rules. Jake Diekman (2-1) pitched two innings for the win, striking out designated hitter Alex Rodriguez with two outs and two on in the sixth.

After three relievers pitched four scoreless innings, Papelbon finished it off by retiring shortstop Didi Gregorius and center fielder Chris Young.

New York's Michael Pineda (8-4) was rocked for career highs of eight runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings.

"Your hope is they can get through it and give you five or six innings and keep you in the game," New York manager Joe Girardi said. "He's done it sometimes. Tonight he wasn't able to do it. "
