I love seeing their record above .500. ‘Tis beautiful, eh? 😉
Oh yes, and Mulder won his 11th today too. Woohoo!
Mulder (11-5) induced 11 ground-ball outs and kept Milwaukee from ever sustaining a rally. He and his teammates finished off the visiting Brew Crew in a mere two hours, 22 minutes, and while it was certainly well-played, it wasn’t a game that will necessarily stand out as unforgettable.
“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Mulder said. “That’s the way I like to be. It’s kind of weird. It was so hot out there, I was just trying to keep everything real slow, nonchalant, trying not to get too involved in it or overwork myself.
“I was just trying to throw sinkers and splits and changes, cut the ball in here and there, throw a couple good curveballs. Just trying to mix it up and keep it real boring.”
Mulder likes being boring? 😉 Nah!
