Trio of early goals fuel Dynamo's first road win

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew Wenger had one goal and one assist, Alex added three assists and the Houston Dynamo beat D.C. United 3-1 on Saturday night for their first road victory of the season.

D.C. United (5-13-3) has lost five in a row, including a 4-3 loss to Seattle — in which United held a 3-0 second-half lead — on Wednesday.

Wenger opened the scoring with a bouncing header, off a corner kick by Alex, in the sixth minute. Mauro Manotas made it 2-0 in the 15th, side-footing a perfectly placed cross from Alex into an open net, and Memo Rodriguez made it 3-0 with a header in the 17th.
