Takes loss despite strong outing Wheeler (14-10) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out seven across seven innings to take the loss Tuesday against Atlanta.
Impact Wheeler did little wrong in the outing, as the lone runs charged to him came in the second inning on a two-run single by Jorge Soler. He dominated Atlanta otherwise, inducing 11 groundouts and generating 11 swinging strikes on 93 total pitches. Though the outing ended a four-start stretch in which Wheeler allowed one or fewer earned runs, he has still maintained a 1.47 ERA across his last five appearances while striking out 39 across 30.2 frames. Wheeler has also been excellent throughout the season, maintaining a 2.78 ERA with a 247:46 K:BB across 213.1 innings.

Strong over six innings Wheeler pitched six innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine in the win over the Orioles on Monday. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact The 31-year-old avoided surrendering any runs until Austin Hays doubled in Ryan Mountcastle in the sixth inning, providing the only damage against him in this one. It was his fourth consecutive start in which he surrendered one or fewer runs, posting a 1.14 ERA over those outings. After a rough month of Aug. where his ERA went from 2.45 to 3.01, the hot streak has Wheeler's ERA back down to 2.79. He'll draw the Braves in his next start Tuesday.
