SAN<\/a> JOSE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Simon Beecher had two goals, Daniel Edelman<\/a> opened the scoring in the seventh minute, and St. Louis City beat the San Jose Earthquakes<\/a> 3-1 on Saturday night to extend their unbeaten streak to nine games. <\/p>\n

The Earthquakes (10-6-3) have three losses during their four-game winless streak following the World Cup<\/a> break. San Jose is fourth in the Western Conference with 33 points, one more than St. Louis (8-6-5). First-place Houston has a one-point lead over Vancouver and Los Angeles FC (34 points apiece). <\/p>\n

Eduard Lowen<\/a> played an inward-arcing corner kick and the 6-foot-1 Beecher slammed home a header from 5 yards out in the 27th minute. Tomas Totland<\/a> flicked a cross from the left side of the area to the back post where Beecher’s first-touch finish from point-blank range made it 3-1 in the 55th. <\/p>\n

Beau Leroux<\/a> scored in the 47th minute for San Jose. <\/p>\n

Beecher, who had his third career multi-goal game, has a career-high tying four goals this season. <\/p>\n

Edelman, who perfectly timed his run, slipped between a pair of defenders for a sliding first-touch goal, off a cross played by Conrad Wallem<\/a>, from the center of the penalty box. <\/p>\n

Edelman, who was acquired in January for general allocation money, has a career-high two goals this season. The 23-year-old midfielder had three goals and three assists across his first four MLS<\/a> seasons, all with the New York Red Bulls. <\/p>\n

St. Louis had just 45% possession but outshot the Earthquakes 13-7, 7-2 on target. <\/p>\n

Angus Gunn<\/a> had four saves for San Jose. <\/p>\n

The Earthquakes won 3-2 at St. Louis on April 25. <\/p>\n
