  "account": "Preston Judd scored two goals, while Eduard Löwen added a goal and an assist, as the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Portland Timbers 3-1. The victory extended the Earthquakes' unbeaten streak to six games. Earl Edwards Jr. made his second start of the season, making his first since April 25, with a career-high seven saves for San Jose's 13-8-6 record. The Timbers (9-13-5) have lost three consecutive games and are winless in four straight matches. Judd has achieved three multi-goal games in his career, scoring 15 goals this season, including four against the Timbers. In the 24th minute, Löwen scored his first goal for San Jose, making it 2-0. Löwen's perfectly-placed pass allowed Judd to score an arcing header past goalkeeper James Pantemis in the fourth minute, opening the scoring. Beau Leroux assisted for Löwen's goal in the 29th minute. Beau Leroux pushed the ball-ahead toward the left end line, and Löwen put a first-touch shot into the top-net, making it 2-0. David Da Costa scored a goal for Portland in the 86th minute.",
