Harry Shipp scored and had an assist as one of four Seattle Sounders goalscorers in a 5-0 rout of the shorthanded LA Galaxy on Saturday. The Sounders ran their winning streak to a club-record six games and tied a club record for largest regular season margin of victory.
Chad Marshall, Cristian Roldan and Raul Ruidiaz also scored for the Sounders, while Nicolas Lodeiro provided two assists. LA's Servando Carrasco knocked in an own goal early in the second half as the Galaxy tied their club record for largest margin of defeat.
The Galaxy were without injured stars Romain Alessandrini, Michael Ciani, Giovani dos Santos and Jonathan dos Santos, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not travel with the club to the Pacific Northwest.
