Toronto FC vs. Nashville SC: 3 takeaways

NASHVILLE – Toronto FC just can't seem to get a solid run going. 

Fresh off an impressive midweek road win over San Diego FC, the Reds failed to get a result in dropping a 1-0 decision to Nashville SC at Geodis Park on hot and muggy Saturday night. 

This latest result means Toronto (5-12-6) have failed to win back-to-back games in MLS this season as its fading playoff hopes took another big hit. Yet, coach Robin Fraser was impressed with his team's effort and work rate against a Nashville side that sits in second place in the overall league table. 

"All losses hurt. But when I look at the character that the team showed today, I'm super proud of that," coach Robin Fraser said. 

Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's match.
