Surrenders three home runs Wheeler allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings but was not involved in the decision during Tuesday's loss to the Giants.
Impact All four runs that Wheeler allowed came via the long ball. Buster Posey had two solo home runs while Tommy La Stella pitched in with a two-run blast of his own. Wheeler has gotten roughed up a bunch since pitching a gem in his first outing of the year. The 30-year-old has allowed 10 runs on 22 hits while sporting a 16:8 K:BB over his last 16.2 innings and will look to right the ship Monday against the Cardinals.

Takes loss despite quality start Wheeler (1-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and a walk over 6.1 innings as the Phillies fell 5-1 to the Mets. He struck out six.
Impact Facing his former club, Wheeler got tagged for two quick runs in the first inning before settling down, but a lack of run support stuck him with the loss. The right-hander threw 108 pitches (71 strikes) en route to his second quality start of the season. Wheeler will carry a 3.00 ERA and 20:5 K:BB through 18 innings into his next outing, set for Tuesday against home against the Giants.

Ambushed by Atlanta Wheeler (1-1) took the loss Friday as the Phillies were routed 8-1 by Atlanta, giving up three runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact Given the traffic he put on the basepaths, Wheeler's final line could have been a lot worse, and he kept Atlanta off the board until Ronald Acuna smashed a two-run homer in the fifth. The right-hander fought his command all evening, throwing only 53 of 94 pitches for strikes in a big step backwards from his impressive season debut. Wheeler will take a 2.31 ERA and 14:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings into his next outing, set for Wednesday on the road against the Mets.

Fans 10 in dominant start Wheeler (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Atlanta, allowing only one hit and striking out 10 over seven scoreless innings.
Impact A Travis d'Arnaud single in the second inning was the only blemish on Wheeler's line as he fired 62 of 90 pitches for strikes, and the right-hander generated more offense than the entire Atlanta lineup by going 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two RBI. Wheeler posted a career-low 2.92 ERA last year but also had a lackluster 17.5 percent strikeout rate -- at least through one start in 2021, it looks like his whiffs have returned with a vengeance.

Slated to start second game Manager Joe Girardi confirmed that Wheeler would start the Phillies' second game of the season Saturday against Atlanta, Pat Gallen of CBS 3 Philadelphia reports.
Impact Wheeler made good on the first season of the five-year, $118 million deal he signed with the Phillies last winter, posting a 2.92 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 11 starts in the abbreviated 2020 campaign. Those strong ratios were somewhat marred by a substantial dip in his strikeout rate (career-worst 6.7 K/9), but Wheeler at least provided some hope for a bounce back in that area this spring. He finished the Phillies' Grapefruit League slate with 22 strikeouts in 19.1 innings, and after topping out at five frames over his six spring starts, he should head into his 2021 season debut without any major restrictions to his pitch count.
