The Sounders haven’t lost in their last eight matches, dating back more than two months to a June 17 loss at New York City FC. It was just last game that they snapped a more than 400-minute streak without allowing a goal. Needless to say, they’re on a roll. And it has shot them into the top spot of the Western Conference standings as they try to repeat last season’s MLS Cup title.
Up next: The beginning of Cascadia Week. Seattle travels to Vancouver for a 7 p.m. match against the Whitecaps, who sit six points back of the first-place Sounders.
