Erick Torres is making up for lost time. He's doing it in a hurry, too.
Torres scored the seventh hat trick in club history Saturday night, helping the Dynamo defeat the visiting New York Red Bulls, 4-1, at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Houston (3-1) moves to the top of the Western Conference table with Portland (3-1) still to play Sunday night.
Torres' first goal marked a significant milestone, too. When he converted a penalty kick in the first half he became the first player in Dynamo history to score a goal in four consecutive games.
The Designated Player did not score a goal for the Dynamo in 22 appearances over the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
