Makes six saves in defeat
Blake made six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus New England Revolution.
Analysis: Blake made six saves while conceding twice during Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to New England, producing several important stops to keep Philadelphia competitive. He twice denied former Union midfielder Daniel Gazdag during the first half and stopped Dor David Turgeman's acrobatic effort before being beaten by the Israeli striker shortly before halftime, while also denying Carles Gil and Luca Langoni after the break. Blake was eventually beaten again by Gil's stoppage-time penalty, with his six saves proving insufficient to prevent Philadelphia's 15-match unbeaten streak from ending.
Concedes twice Saturday
Blake registered one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Blake conceded a pair of goals Saturday, both of which came in the second half. He's now conceded at least once in four straight starts. He faces a difficult matchup versus New England next.
Gives up one goal
Blake recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Blake conceded a goal just before halftime but was solid otherwise as Philadelphia stormed back in the second half to win 3-1. He will likely face more pressure when he takes the pitch against Charlotte FC, a team that has scored 51 goals in 29 MLS matches.
Concedes late in win
Blake allowed a goal while making three saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over RSL.
Analysis: Blake looked on his way to a clean sheet before conceding a consolation goal in the 96th minute. The keeper has allowed four goals while combining for 11 shots and keeping a clean sheet over his last three starts. Blake and the Union head to Chicago for midweek action Wednesday.
Ready to reclaim starting spot
Blake has returned to Philadelphia Union following international duty with Jamaica and is available for Saturday's MLS clash against Real Salt Lake after being omitted from the league's latest injury report.
Analysis: Blake missed the matchup against Orlando City SC while representing Jamaica during the international break but is now back in contention to resume his regular starting duties. The veteran goalkeeper entered the international window with 94 caps and 32 clean sheets for Jamaica, ranking tied for ninth in national team history in appearances. Andrew Vincent Rick provided cover in goal during his absence, but Blake is expected to reclaim his place in the starting XI against Real Salt Lake given his established role as Philadelphia's first-choice goalkeeper.
Called up by Jamaica
Blake has been called up by the Jamaica national team for the upcoming FIFA international window, and will miss Saturday's clash against Orlando due to the call up, returning for the match against Real Salt Lake on October 10, according to the club.
Analysis: Blake has made 94 appearances with 32 clean sheets for Jamaica since his 2014 debut, tied for ninth most caps in national team history, and recently helped the country reach the World Cup qualification playoff final. Andrew Vincent Rick will replace him in goal for Philadelphia during his absence, with Blake set to compete in four Concacaf Nations League matches for Jamaica.
Rebounds in second half
Blake allowed three goals while making three saves during Saturday's 4-3 win over Sporting KC.
Analysis: Blake allowed three first half goals, but blanked Kansas City in the second half as the Union came from behind for all three points. The match broke a streak of two straight clean sheets for the keeper as he's combined for eight saves over his last three starts. The Union take on Orlando City at home next weekend.
Keeps a clean sheet
Blake made five saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 5-0 win against San Diego FC.
Analysis: Blake was stellar in Sunday's match with five saves, though he probably would've been fine allowing a few goals given how his teammates performed in the attacking third. The goalkeeper has a good chance at another clean sheet in the next match against Sporting Kansas City, a team which has scored just 26 goals in 24 MLS matches this season.
Clean sheet in win
Blake registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 5-0 victory against FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Blake had a quiet evening as Philadelphia's dominant performance kept Cincinnati well away from goal, adding to what is now five clean sheets on the season. His 56.2 save percentage leaves room for improvement on his end, though the defense in front of him has been the bigger concern with 78 shots faced across 23 matches. His next fixture against San Diego FC presents a more competitive test, making clean sheet upside less certain but still within reach given Philadelphia's recent defensive form.
Saves penalty in shutout
Blake had two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win against CF Montreal.
Analysis: Blake made two saves in Saturday's 2-0 win over Montreal, with his penalty stop from Prince-Osei Owusu in the second half the most important contribution of the match, reading the stutter-step before diving right to preserve the 1-0 lead at the most critical moment of the game. The Jamaican captain has now made 45 saves and kept four clean sheets across 22 MLS appearances this season, and his composure under pressure underlines why he remains one of the Eastern Conference's most reliable goalkeepers. He heads into the Cincinnati fixture having kept a clean sheet in Philadelphia's eighth consecutive unbeaten match.
Makes three saves in win
Blake recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Blake produced another solid performance, making three saves as Philadelphia extended its MLS unbeaten streak to seven matches. He made several important interventions during the first half before eventually being beaten by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting after the break. Blake has accumulated 43 saves while conceding 35 goals with three clean sheets across 21 MLS appearances this season and remains firmly established as Philadelphia's starting goalkeeper heading into Saturday's clash against CF Montreal.
Five saves in 1-1 draw
Blake made five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Austin FC.
Analysis: Blake helped his side gain a point away to Austin as he made five saves. This was the second occasion this season that Blake has made five or more saves and in a season where he has played 20 games so far has only managed to keep three clean sheets.
Allows two in draw
Blake made one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Blake faced a quiet night as Miami failed to threaten often, and he was not at fault for either of the two goals conceded. He did produce a key save, denying Daniel Pinter in a one on one situation that could have sealed the win for Miami. Blake continues to hold just one clean sheet across his last seven games, despite five of them being played at home. He is set to return to action Saturday in an away trip to Austin.
Allows two pk goals
Blake had two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 win against New York City FC.
Analysis: Blake was unable to keep out either of NYCFC's first-half penalty kicks in Sunday's win. He has now conceded 12 goals over his last six MLS appearances while recording just 10 saves during that span. The keeper will face off with Inter Miami on Wednesday, who have scored 10 goals in the last five contests. Blake did not have a fun time against the opponent during their last outing, conceding six goals with four saves back on May 24.
Concedes two against Atlanta
Blake recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Blake was in net Saturday and saw a rough match to say the least, allowing two goals while not making a single save. This comes just after a clean sheet in the last match, although he only has one save between the two games. He has three clean sheets in 17 appearances this season, not being helped much by a Philly team that sits third from last in the Eastern Conference.
Secures clean sheet
Blake had one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Blake kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win over Seattle, making one save across the 90 minutes and organizing a Union defensive unit that held firm throughout the second half against a Sounders side that pushed for the equalizer with growing intensity after the break. The Jamaican goalkeeper had gone four consecutive MLS matches without a clean sheet before Saturday's shutout, making his third of the season a timely confidence boost heading into next Saturday's home fixture against Atlanta United.
Concedes once in win
Blake allowed a goal while making three saves during Wednesday's 3-1 win over New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Blake allowed a goal in the first half, but held the Red Bulls from there as the Union came away with all three points. The keeper has allowed eight goals while combining for seven saves over his last three starts. The Union take on Seattle at home Saturday.
Mauled by Miami
Blake allowed six goals while making four saves during Sunday's 6-4 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Blake allowed four goals in the first half and two in the second as the Union dropped all three points Sunday. The keeper has allowed nine goals while combining for just four saves over his last three starts. Blake and company square off against the New York Red Bulls following the World Cup on July 22nd.
Concedes once Saturday
Blake made no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Blake conceded one goal Saturday, an excellent outside-the-box strike by Hugo Picard in the 10th minute. It was the only shot he faced in the match, so he finished with zero saves for the fourth time in his last six starts. He faces a very difficult matchup Sunday at Inter Miami, the final match before the two-month break for the World Cup.
Starting versus Columbus
Blake (knee) is in the starting lineup in Saturday's contest against Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Blake missed one match with a minor knee issue, but he regained enough health to play again in the weekend clash. With the main keeper back between the posts, Andrew Vincent Rick will return to a substitute role for upcoming fixtures. Blake has been somewhat inconsistent lately, making multiple saves in just one of his last five MLS appearances, and securing two clean sheets over that period.
