Wheeler (13-6) allowed four hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Saturday.
Wheeler twirled a gem for his 100th career win, and he rattled off his sixth straight quality start in the process. He finally had a month where he avoided a poor start -- over six outings in August, Wheeler posted a 1.62 ERA and 44:5 K:BB over 39 innings. Through 27 starts this year, Wheeler has a 2.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 183:45 K:BB over 167.2 innings, numbers that should have him firmly in the NL Cy Young discussion. He's projected for a favorable start at Miami his next time out.
