Mulder on his way to his 13th win of the season…

Pitching on his birthday for the first time in his career, Mulder (13-5) scattered seven hits in seven innings with three strikeouts and two walks to win his fifth straight decision over eight starts. The 28-year-old has a 2.05 ERA during the streak.

“It was a little weird,” Mulder said. “My parents and everybody is here, so I’m glad I pitched well or I’d be in a bad mood right now.”
