TUKWILA, Wash. — After two days off (or one, if you exclude Monday’s travel day, as Stefan Frei noted), the Seattle Sounders got back to work, trying to move past two disappointing results in the last week. Only able to garner one point in the last two games, the Sounders somehow remain in second place, though that positioning is contingent on some favorable results in games Wednesday evening.
Good news first: The Sounders welcomed back two large presences to their backline, as Xavier Arreaga and Roman Torres returned from the respective suspensions.
