With an injury-depleted roster, Jimmy Gabriel goes with a lineup featuring three Americans aged 23 and under, and the Sounders beat California, 2-0, at Anaheim.

Greg Beasley opens the scoring early for the Papermakers, but by the 15th minute Jacob Artman cancels that out for Hazen.

Geoff Aunger strikes two minutes into overtime as the Sounders rally late to tie and beat host Milwaukee, 2-1, for their sixth straight outright win.

Aunger's seventh goal of the year comes off a chipped ball from David Hoggan. It's the start of six straight road games in three competitions over the next 16 days.
