Milan Iloski scored the match’s only goal just past the half-hour mark, and the Philadelphia Union defeated the visiting Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Saturday night in Chester, Pa.

Frankie Westfield and Neil Pierre added assists as the Union (3-10-4, 13 points) won back-to-back matches for the first time this season.

The Sounders (7-6-3, 24 points) tied a club record with their fifth straight loss, matching a mark set in 2015.

Iloski opened the scoring for the Union in the 31st minute. He caught up to a pass from Frankie Westfield and, with Sounders goalkeeper Andrew Thomas pulled off his line, chipped it into an open net to make it 1-0. It was Iloski’s team-high ninth goal of the season.

In the 64th minute, Iloski thought he’d made it a brace as he caught Thomas off his line once more on a one-versus-one opportunity, but the entry pass from Cavan Sullivan found the striker a hair offside.

But the Union’s first-half goal ended up standing up as the match winner as the Sounders managed just one shot on goal, a weakly-headed attempt from Hassani Dotson in the 66th minute that was stopped easily by Union goalkeeper Andre Blake.

Blake kept his third clean sheet of the season thanks to his lone save of the night. Thomas stopped five of the six Philadelphia shots he faced.

The Union claimed consecutive wins for the first time since a three-match winning streak from Sept. 20 to Oct. 4, 2025.

Pierre, making his first MLS start, recorded his second goal contribution in as many matches. He scored his first career goal against the New York Red Bulls during the Union’s 3-1 win on Wednesday night.

Westfield’s assist was his team-leading fifth of the season.

Seattle has been shut out three times and outscored 12-2 during its losing streak.

Pete Crow-Armstrong filled the box score, going 4-for-5 with three runs, two doubles, a two-run home run, three RBIs and a stolen base to power the Chicago Cubs to an 11-0 victory over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.

Dansby Swanson added two hits, two runs and an RBI, while Miguel Amaya scored twice and drove in two runs. Michael Busch went 3-for-6 with two RBIs, and Seiya Suzuki also drove in two runs in the Cubs’ 16-hit attack.

Shota Imanaga (7-8) threw six shutout innings, allowing four hits while walking one and striking out four. Javier Assad earned his first save with three scoreless innings, allowing one hit while walking none and striking out three.

The Cubs took a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning. Swanson and Amaya singled with one out before Crow-Armstrong ripped an RBI double into the right-center gap to open the scoring. Suzuki followed with a line drive over the glove of a leaping Ryan O’Hearn at first, driving in Amaya and Crow-Armstrong.

An inning later, Chicago sent 11 batters to the plate and stretched its advantage to 8-0. Ian Happ opened the inning by grounding out. But Nico Hoerner singled, Pedro Ramirez walked, and Isaac Mattson relieved Pirates starter Paul Skenes.

Swanson greeted Mattson with an RBI double to left for a 4-0 lead. Amaya’s single drove in Ramirez and Swanson. Crow-Armstrong laced a double to right and Amaya advanced to third.

Suzuki struck out looking, but Busch knocked in Amaya and Crow-Armstrong with a two-out single, giving the Cubs an 8-0 lead. After Alex Bregman walked, Pittsburgh again went to the bullpen and Ron Marinaccio walked Happ, but Hoerner lined out to left with the bases loaded.

Crow-Armstrong launched his 23rd home run, a two-run shot to right, and the Cubs’ lead grew to 10-0 in the seventh. Pinch hitter James Triantos collected his first major league hit, a single, in the eighth and scored from first on Ramirez’s double.

Skenes (9-9) gave up five runs on six hits, walked two and struck out 11 in 5 1/3 innings.

Carles Gil and Dor Turgeman each scored a first-half goal while Matt Turner made six saves on Saturday to help the New England Revolution earn a 4-1 victory over Atlanta United in Foxborough, Mass.

Peyton Miller and Brooklyn Raines also scored a goal apiece for New England (9-5-2, 29 points), which passed the Chicago Fire (26 points) for third place in the Eastern Conference.

Atlanta (3-11-3, 12 points) extended its winless stretch to six games and fell to 1-6-2 away from home. Miguel Almiron scored a goal in the 85th minute to help the visitors avoid their eighth shutout of the year. Atlanta’s 17 goals scored are the fewest in the league.

New England tacked on to its 2-0 halftime lead in the 56th minute, as Miller tallied his fourth goal of the year to give the Revolution a three-goal advantage. Alhassan Yusuf picked up his second assist of the match in the process.

In the 67th minute, Raines scored the first goal of his MLS career. Assisted by Jackson Yueill, Raines’ left-footed strike marked just the second time New England has scored four-plus goals in a game this season.

After Almiron’s early shot was saved by Turner, New England found the back of the net at the 11-minute mark, as Matt Polster found Gil for his team-leading sixth-goal of the season.

Polster, recording his first assist of the year, left the ball for the New England star, who shook defender Tristan Muyumba and fired in a left-footed shot past the sprawling Lucas Hoyos.

Turgeman threatened to double New England’s advantage in the 26th minute, but Hoyos made his first save to preserve the one-goal deficit.

Turgeman broke through 10 minutes later, however, as the 22-year-old scored his third goal of the season. Yusuf’s perfectly placed cross found Turgeman in the box, where a left-footed shot made it 2-0.

Despite the two-goal halftime-margin, Atlanta put seven shots on goal in the first half to New England’s four.
