Tyler Deric had three saves for his second shutout of the season, helping the Houston Dynamo preserve a scoreless draw with the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.
Deric had the play of the match in the 31st minute when he deflected Marcelo Sarvas' 8-yard shot over the crossbar. Sarvas got open for the shot after a chest pass from Gabriel Torres and Deric was only able to get his hand on it at the last moment.
The Dynamo (1-1-2) pressed ahead in the final minutes for some good chances, but came up short.
Clint Irwin had two saves for the Rapids (0-0-3) for his 20th career MLS shutout.
