SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Jack Jasinski and Reid Roberts each scored a goal for the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night in a 2-2 tie with the Colorado Rapids.

Yapi, who subbed on for Whittaker in the 63rd minute, took a pass from Georgi Minoungou, cut back to evade a defender and then fired a shot from the left side of the area that slipped inside the near post to make it 2-1.

Whittaker rolled a low shot from the center of the area past Angus Gunn and inside the right post to make it 1-1 in the 26th minute.

Roberts went up high for a header, off a corner kick played in by Werner, that deflected off the crossbar into the net to open the scoring in the 15th minute.

Hansen had six saves for Colorado, which is unbeaten in five straight.

The Rapids had 54% possession but were outshot by San Jose 16-8, 8-2 on target.
