Wheeler (3-3) allowed just two runs despite surrendering 10 hits and a walk over 6.1 innings during Thursday's loss to Milwaukee. He struck out six batters.
The 27-year-old righty has now allowed just 10 earned runs through 34 innings over his past six starts and sports a serviceable 3.72 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 8.3 K/9 for the campaign. It was also encouraging to see him issue just the single free pass Thursday, as his 3.7 BB/9 will need improvement if he's going to continue chipping away at his ratios. Wheeler lines up next for a tough road start against the Rangers.
