Picks up third win Wheeler (3-0) allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over seven innings as he earned the win Sunday against the Mets.
Impact Wheeler was forced to settle for a no-decision in his last turn through the rotation. However, he was sharp against the Mets as he held them scoreless outside of two runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander's strikeout rate has been down to begin the season, but he's been able to mainly limit run production with a 2.81 ERA over 25.2 innings across four starts this season. He'll attempt to remain effective on the road Saturday against Atlanta.

Struggles late Wheeler allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two across 5.2 innings Tuesday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Wheeler held the Orioles scoreless through five innings but was never particularly dominant, as he allowed at least one baserunner in each of the first three innings. He sat down six in a row and appeared to be in a rhythm until he allowed four of the first six batters he faced to reach base in the sixth frame, accounting for all three of his earned runs. While Wheeler has a 2.89 ERA through 18.2 innings, he has yet to display the ability to miss bats as he has just eight strikeouts compared to five walks. He'll draw his next start Sunday against the Mets.

Excellent in Philadelphia debut Wheeler earned the win versus Miami on Saturday, hurling seven innings and giving up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four.
Impact Toeing the mound less than a week after his wife gave birth to the couple's first child, Wheeler was in complete control throughout his seven innings, scattering five singles and a pair of walks while throwing 57 of 87 pitches for strikes. His only real trouble came in the fifth inning when the Marlins put three consecutive runners on base with a pair of singles and a walk, but Wheeler emerged from the threat allowing only one run by inducing an inning-ending double play. After some initial uncertainty about playing out the season, the 30-year-old now appears determined to take the ball for Philadelphia every five turns. His next start is scheduled for Thursday on the road against the loaded Yankees offense.
