HOUSTON, June 12 (UPI) -- Steve Ralston and Kheli Dube scored first-half goals Thursday, leading the New England Revolution to a 2-0 victory over Houston.

The Revolution (8-3-2) downed the two-time defending MLS champs for the second time this year.

Matt Reis made five saves, including a stop on a penalty shot, to record his league-leading fifth shutout of the season.

Houston fell to 4-4-5.

Ralston opened the scoring in the eighth minute when he was left open in front of the goal. Dube volleyed a corner kick from Mauricio Castro past goalkeeper Tony Caig in the 35th minute.
