In other results Saturday, the New York Red Bulls won 2-1 at Los Angeles Galaxy, while Real Salt Lake and Houston posted 2-1 home wins over Dallas and Colorado respectively.
San Jose took the lead against Columbus, with Ramiro Corrales heading in a corner, and considering no side this season has lost after scoring first, the Earthquakes looked on course for a home result.
However, Columbus rattled on three goals in ten minutes in the latter part of the second half to seize the game. Robbie Rogers slotted home the equalizer in the 73rd minute and rounded the keeper to make it 2-1 in the 81st.
Brad Evans put the Crew up 3-1 in the 83rd minute before Ryan Johnson pulled one back for the hosts in the 89th.
Juan Pablo Angel scored in the 78th minute to give the Red Bulls a victory over the Galaxy.
Danleigh Borman added his first goal for the Red Bulls (3-1-2), who extended their unbeaten steak to four games. Alan Gordon scored for Los Angeles (2-3-2).
David Beckham received his first MLS yellow card in the 67th minute. He collided with New York's Dave van den Bergh after van den Bergh passed the ball. A cascade of boos followed the announcement. The yellow card was Beckham's first since the SuperLiga semifinal Aug. 15 against D.C. United.
New York took a 21st minute lead against Los Angeles when Danleigh Borman pounced on a rebounded save to score his first professional goal, but the Galaxy looked to have snatched a point when Alan Gordon collected the ball with his back to goal and swiveled onto a shot to score in the 77th minute.
