PORTLAND, Ore. — Preston Judd scored a shorthanded goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to rally the San Jose Earthquakes to a 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers on Friday night.. Judd subbed into the match for Beau Leroux in the 75th minute and scored for the second time this season and the sixth of his career when Portland goalkeeper Daniel De Sousa Britto stopped but couldn’t wrap up a shot by Ousseni Bouda. Judd was there to tap the deflection in for the equalizer.
