Erick Torres has dazzled MLS with his stunning resurgence. He was flying high with a league-leading six goals heading into last weekend's game at New England.

On Saturday, he finally found out how the other half lives, putting in an ineffective performance in the 2-0 loss.

"I'm sad, because of the result," Torres said through a translator. "We wanted to get three points on an away game and we couldn't accomplish the objective. However, we need to move forward and get ready for next weekend."

Torres had scored in all four previous games, a club-record streak. He had taken 11 shots in those games, but on Saturday took zero. His teammates were not great either. The Dynamo attempted five shots with only one coming in the second half.

He had a great opportunity to level the match in the 61st minute when Ricardo Clark played a long pass over the defense that Torres ran onto all alone. His first touch at the edge of the penalty area was on his right shin.

The ball then caromed unexpectedly to Torres' left foot. Not ready for the second touch, Torres could not control it, and it rolled too far ahead of him and into the arms of goalkeeper Cody Cropper.

Playing on field turf instead of grass likely played a role.

"It's a play in which I can't control the ball," Torres said. "It was a clear opportunity, but that's how it goes and I couldn't finish."

Torres should have more opportunities Saturday when he returns to the friendly grass of BBVA Compass Stadium and the Dynamo face a team in Minnesota United FC that has conceded a league-high 22 goals in six matches.
