Ricketts rescues Reds for record sixth straight win

Sebastian Giovinco returns from injury and scores before limping off again at BMO Field.

Toronto FC forward Tosaint Ricketts gets his head on a pass from Jozy Altidore and scores the game winner against Minnesota United at BMO Field on Saturday.

There is a whiteboard positioned front and centre in Toronto FC’s dressing room, visible from each player’s locker, where plays are mapped out, formations drawn up.

On Saturday evening, that board was devoid of tactics. In their place — in bold, black erasable marker — was a big number 6.

The Reds had earned their franchise-record sixth consecutive win, 3-2 over Minnesota United at BMO Field.
