Wheeler helped himself out by going 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI at the plate as well. With the great night, the 28-year-old improved to 2-2 with a 4.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 29.2 innings across five starts this season. His next outing will likely be against the Reds at home Monday.
