TORONTO, May 16 (UPI) -- The Chicago Fire recorded a 2-0 win over Toronto FC Saturday to snap a Major League Soccer record streak of five consecutive draws.

The Fire's goals were scored by Chris Rolfe in the 59th minute and Brian McBride in the 81st.

They improved to 3


6, but are only third in the Eastern Conference despite being the lone MLS team without a loss this season.

It was their first win since April 5, when they beat New York 1-0.

The Reds (3-3-4) lost despite attempting 11 shots -- three on goal -- against Chicago goalkeeper Jon Busch.

Toronto is 1-1-2 in MLS games since coach John Carver resigned on April 25.
