Just before the half, Nájar got on the scoresheet himself, heading in a Cristian Espinoza corner kick for his second goal of the year.
BJ Callaghan, an MLS Coach of the Year frontrunner, earns his sixth inclusion of the season after leading Nashville to tie the MLS single-season record for home wins (14) and longest home winning streak (10). Nashville can clinch the Supporters' Shield with a win against San Jose on Saturday night.
