Kevin Hartman made two close-range saves against Charlie Davies and three overall to help F.C. Dallas draw 0-0 with D.C. United on Saturday night.

The result helped Dallas (3-3-2) push its unbeaten run to three games with just its second shutout of the season. D.C. (3-4-2) also held an opponent scoreless for the second time.

Hartman charged to deny a wide-open Davies 8 minutes in after Brek Shea's defensive giveaway, with Ugo Ihemelu and Andrew Jacobson each blocking rebound attempts from Davies and Andy Najar.

Then in the 89th minute, Hartman sprawled to his right to push away Davies' header after Josh Wolff's cross found Davies unmarked inside the 6-yard box.

Najar left under his own power in the 72nd minute after apparently hurting a foot or ankle in a tangle with Shea.
