Dax McCarty capped the scoring in the 66th minute and had assists on New York’s first two goals to give the Red Bulls a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.
The Red Bulls (14-9-9) tied New York City FC for first place in the Eastern Conference standings, each with two games remaining.
