The Colorado Rapids have opened the Robin Fraser era with back-to-back wins against teams in a playoff position and they will look for a third in a row when they host an LA Galaxy squad currently one point below the line in the Western Conference.
The Rapids (9-14-6) made it matching 2-0 victories under Fraser, beating the shorthanded Seattle Sounders at Dick's Sporting Goods Park Saturday. Andre Shinyashiki scored a goal in each half, smashing in a Jonathan Lewis cross first time in the 41st minute and tapping in a Keegan Rosenberry service for a 70th-minute insurance tally.
