After a draw in Seattle and a win in New York, the Portland Timbers were largely playing with house money on Saturday. And — well — they lost.
But with the Seattle Sounders drawing at floundering FC Dallas and the Vancouver Whitecaps losing at home to the Columbus Crew, the loss is hardly devastating for the Timbers, who still sit one point from the top of the Western Conference.
Finished a monster at Seattle-at NYCFC-at RSL stretch by being 1 point out of 1st and with 3 of 4 games left being at home.
