D.C. United makes trade in advance of Atlanta matchup (Jun 21, 2017)

D.C. United has received some potential help for its league-worst offense ahead of Wednesday’s home match against an Atlanta United team featuring plenty of attacking options.

Mired in a stretch of 665 minutes without scoring from open play, last-place D.C. United (4-8-3, 15 pts) on Tuesday announced the acquisition of Jamaican forward Deshorn Brown from the Houston Dynamo.

Brown hasn’t played in MLS since 2015 and hasn’t scored in the league since he hit 10 goals for the Colorado Rapids a season earlier.

But after scoring three times in 14 appearances this year for the lower division Tampa Bay Rowdies, Brown may already be the best option his new club.
