In many ways, it was a picturesque Portland October night: Rain poured down from the sky, winds blew at nearly 30 miles per hour, and the Portland Timbers extended their winning streak to five against the San Jose Earthquakes. If you’re a native Portlander, there’s not much more you can ask for.
Let’s focus more on the Timbers, since that’s probably what you’re here for. It’s been a fine run of form for the club, and it only got better last night. It wasn’t just their fifth win in a row, but also their sixth unbeaten match in a row.
