<p>DC United lose 1-3 to Chicago Fire and draw 1-1 with St. Louis City. The vibes are undecided. Aaron Herrera wants out. Gabriel Pirani's contract is being terminated. Nikola Markovic at right back did not work. But João Peglow scores a late equalizer, Louis Munteanu and Tai Baribo are starting to show something together, and Jared Stroud is quietly having a moment.
