• Peyton Miller and Carles Gil both score twice as Revolution survive late Orlando City comeback bid (bostonglobe.com) — West Hartford native Peyton Miller scored twice, including a stoppage-time winner, to lead the New England Revolution to a 4-2 home victory over Orlando City and their third straight win.
