Jonathan Lewis' brace led the way for the Colorado Rapids (8-14-6, 30 pts) to defeat the New York Red Bulls (12-12-5, 41 pts), 2-0, on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.

New York recorded back-to-back losses for the first time since late March following losses to Orlando City, 1-0 and at Chicago, 1-0.

It was just the 22nd time in league play since Red Bull Arena opened that the Red Bulls were held scoreless at home.

Lewis tallied a goal to open in the scoring in the 14th minute then added an insurance goal in the 87th minute for the brace.

Despite the loss, goalkeeper Luis Robles came up big with four saves to keep the match within striking distance to raise his season total to 79 league saves.

Left back Kemar Lawrence picked up his fifth yellow card and will miss New York's upcoming match against the Seattle Sounders.

New York will have a week off of game play before their West Coast trip to face Seattle and Portland. The Red Bulls and Seattle will clash on Sunday, Sept. 15 on ESPN before facing Portland on Wednesday, Sept. 18 on MSG. Both matches will also be covered on Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.
