Neither team scored until Hannes Wolf took a pass from Rodríguez in the 50th minute, netting his third goal of the season to give New York City (9-5-2) the lead.

The advantage lasted until San Jose rookie Hernán López fed rookie Amahl Pellegrino for the equalizer in the 53rd. It was the fifth goal for Pellegrino and the first assist for López.

Matt Freese finished with two saves for New York City. William Yarbrough saved two shots for the Earthquakes (3-11-2). Both keepers had one save in a scoreless first half.

The Earthquakes have just two wins in their last 51 matches on the road against Eastern Conference opponents with the last one coming in 2012.

San Jose went 2-2-2 this month after losing eight of its first 10 matches to begin the season.

New York City returns to action at home on June 14 against the defending champion Columbus Crew. The Earthquakes are off until June 15 when they host FC Cincinnati.
