at Tampa Bay, 10 a.m. PDT, Ch. 34

* Site--Raymond James Stadium

* Radio--KRLA (1110), KTNQ (1020)

* Records--Galaxy 8-6, Mutiny 6-7.

* Record vs. Mutiny--0-1.

* Update--Kermit Quisenberry will be one of the assistant referees, giving the Galaxy a chance to thank him for stopping the clock and making time for Mauricio Cienfuego’s game-winning goal against D.C. United last week. That victory extended the Galaxy’s winning streak to three games. Tampa Bay has a few streaks of its own, not all of them good. In fourth place in the Eastern Conference, the Mutiny lost its first four games, won five in a row, then dropped three of its last four. Coach Tim Hankinson laid into his young squad this week, exhorting them to practice harder, but effort is only part of the problem. Injuries are expected to keep defenders Chad McCarty and Dominic Kinnear out of the lineup. Midfielders Carlos Valderrama and Jorge Salcedo are listed as questionable.
