While Toronto FC were recording a third-straight victory over Orlando City, the New York Red Bulls were kicking off a miserable three-game losing streak with a loss at Sporting Kansas City.
That’s a tough place to go, but the alarming thing about the two reverses that have followed is how winnable they looked on paper; New York faced the Philadelphia Union away and the LA Galaxy at home. Though their wins over the Red Bulls can be counted as signs of progress, neither side occupies a playoff spot at the moment despite the three points they gained.
