COMMERCE CITY — Andre Shinyashiki scored two goals, Clint Irwin had his first shutout since the 2017 season and the Colorado Rapids beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Saturday night.
Irwin finished with two save as the Rapids (9-14-6) outshot Seattle 24-5.
Shinyashiki ripped a first-timer off the bottom of the crossbar to open the scoring in the 41st minute. Sam Nicholson, near the right sideline, played a high cross to Jonathan Lewis on the left side of the area where he played a one-touch pass to Shinyashiki for the finish.
Nicolás Mezquida ran onto a Sounders turnover forced by Keegan Rosenberry near midfield and then rolled it to Rosenberry, whose low cross led Shinyashiki to the top of the 6-yard box where he put away a side-footer.
