SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- Preston Judd scored two goals, Eduard Lwen added a
goal and an assist, and the San Jose Earthquakes beat the Portland Timbers 3-1
on Saturday night to extend their unbeaten streak to six games.
Earl Edwards Jr. made his second start this season, his his first since April
25, had a career-high seven saves for San Jose (13-8-6).
The Timbers (9-13-5) have lost three in a row and are winless in four straight.
Judd has three multi-goal games a career-high 15 goals this season --- four
against the Timbers. The 27-year-old came into 2026 with 11 career goals in
four MLS seasons, the first two with the LA Galaxy.
Lwen played a perfectly-placed entry pass to the center of the area and Judd
floated an arcing header past goalkeeper James Pantemis to open the scoring in
the fourth minute. Paul Marie flicked a ball off the outside of his foot to
Judd, who scored on a volley from the edge of the 6-yard box to give the
Earthquakes a 3-0 lead in the 29th.
Lwen, acquired Aug. 26 via trade from St. Louis, scored his first goal for San
Jose to make it 2-0 in the 24th. Beau Leroux, at the edge of the penalty box,
pushed a ball-ahead toward the left end line and Lwen put a first-touch shot
into the top-net.
David Da Costa scored for Portland in the 86th minute.
Pantemis finished with five saves.
