Timbers shutout Earthquakes 1-0 before Copa America break (The Associated Press)

Liam Ridgewell scored early and the Portland Timbers earned their first shutout of the season with a 1-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night despite playing short-handed the entire second half. Dairon Asprilla was sent off with a red card at the end of the first half and the Timbers played with 10 men the rest of the way. The loss snapped a three-game undefeated streak for the Earthquakes, who were without coach Dominic Kinnear because of a minor car accident Wednesday.
