Je-Vaughn Watson and some pressure from Femi Hollinger-Janzen kept the Revs from dropping a second straight result on Wednesday night.
The search for a second New England Revolution win will have to go on. The Portland Timbers made the arduous cross-country trek and will escape with a point after a 1-1 draw.
Substitute Jack Barmby did the damage for the visitors, while the home side struggled once again to put together any lethality in attack. They managed to pull out a point at the death, though, with a goal initially credited to Femi Hollinger-Janzen that should turn out to be an own goal by Jermaine Taylor.
