Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:04:55 GMT

Minnesota United’s record went to five and oh no on Saturday.After a five-match unbeaten start to 2023, the Loons gave up multiple goals for the first time this year in a 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.Minnesota (3-1-2) had won three straight road games, but their franchise-record-tying form on the road was ended by Chicago (2-1-3), which had three home draws to open the season.Minnesota had been getting results while operating in narrow margins; and they came up well short Saturday.“Our first-half performance was the worst we’ve played all season,” manager Adrian Heath said. “I thought we were second-best in every department. Individually, I think they bossed us in the first half all over the field.”When the Loons traded for Kei Kamara in the summer of 2020, there was a gentleman’s agreement he wouldn’t play against his former team, Colorado Rapids, that season.MNUFC could have used a similar setup Saturday, as the 38-year-old forward scored...

The Rockies rocked LoDo Saturday night with a four-run ninth inning.Alas, the rally fizzled when Carl Edwards struck out Kris Bryant with two men on base, leaving the Rockies as 7-6 losers in front of 34,503 fans at Coors Field.The Rockies, losers of five of their last six games on the heels of a 2-0 start, got another shaky performance from a starting pitcher and received a pedestrian performance from their offense until Mike Moustakas crushed a two-run homer to right field in the ninth. It was Moustakas’ first homer in a Rockies uniform.That set the fuse for Colorado’s rally, which included a two-run single by pinch-hitter Elias Diaz.

But it kind of sets the tone for the rest of the season for us. Ther...
