(San Jose, CA)  --  The Portland Timbers hope to have better luck at home next weekend, after dropping a 2-1 decision to San Jose on the road.  Sloppy field conditions made things difficult for the defending MLS champs, who suffered only their second loss in 14 regular season games against the Earthquakes.  Jack McInerny scored Portland's only goal in the 89th minute.  The Timbers will host Real Salt Lake this Saturday night.
