SOCCER

Timbers fall at Toronto — Portland gave up four straight goals in the second half in a 4-1 loss at Major League Soccer-leading Toronto FC on Saturday. After a scoreless first half in which goalkeeper Jake Gleeson left with an injury, Toronto (13-3-8) got on the board with a 58th-minute Justin Morrow goal. “We’ve had too much of that this year when we’re in position to get a result and we concede a soft goal,” Timbers coach Caleb Porter said. “But I think what is more disappointing is the response. I was extremely disappointed with what I saw.” Diego Valeri scored late for his 50th career goal with the Timbers (9-9-7), one behind striker Fanendo Adi for most in franchise history. Valeri is the 18th player in MLS history with 50 goals and 50 assists in his career.

FOOTBALL

Practice death leads to questions — The death of a teenage football player on Long Island, New York, has raised questions as to why students were asked to carry what police described as an approximately 400-pound, 10-foot log while participating in an offseason conditioning camp. Joshua Mileto, a 16-year-old from Farmingville, New York, was performing the training exercise at Sachem East High School with four other students. The boys were hoisting the log above their heads Thursday morning when it fell and struck Joshua, the Suffolk County Police Department said. He was pronounced dead at Stony Brook University Hospital. The elite Navy SEALs and other units of the U.S. military sometimes carry logs as part of their physical training, but they are often only half as heavy. It is not a common activity for high school athletes.
