HARRISON, N.J. (April 12, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls play two road games this week, stopping first in San Jose to take on the Earthquakes on Wednesday night. Kickoff from Avaya Stadium is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. New York will look to get back on track with its first road win of the season.

Coverage of the match is available of MSG+ and MSG GO, with a Spanish language broadcast available via the SAP button. The Red Bulls will also provide English and Spanish Radio on Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.

New York is now 1-4-0 on the season, coming off of a 2-0 defeat to Sporting Kansas City last Saturday night at Red Bull Arena. New York conceded once in each half, and couldn’t break through despite launching 22 shots toward the Kansas City net.

Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles is scheduled to make his 112th consecutive league start on Wednesday night. With a full 90 minutes played, Robles would tie Kevin Hartman’s league record of 112 consecutive starts and complete games played.

The matchup will feature two strikers that have their place in the MLS record book, as Bradley Wright-Phillips and Chris Wondolowski square off. Both players have a share of the MLS record for single-season goal scoring. Wondolowski scored 27 goals in 2012, a feat BWP replicated for New York in 2014.

San Jose enters at 2-1-2, including a 2-0-1 record at home. The Earthquakes are coming off of a 2-2 draw at FC Dallas last weekend. Wondolowski leads the club with four goals this season, while Quincy Amarikwa has a goal and three assists.

After Wednesday, the Red Bulls continue on to face the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night in Denver, with a 9 p.m. ET kick time. Coverage of that match will be on MSG and MSG GO, as well as English and Spanish radio on the Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.

New York returns home to host Orlando City SC on Sunday, April 24. Kickoff for that match is set for 7:30 p.m. on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Deportes, as New York celebrates the 20th anniversary of the club’s first home game.
