Wheeler did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Wheeler was locked in a pitchers' duel with Dylan Cease, with the former clinging onto a 1-0 lead through five innings before yielding a solo homer to Jesus Sanchez in the sixth. Wheeler generated 15 whiffs on 96 pitches and is up to seven quality starts in nine outings this season. He will bring a 2.22 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 56.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Marlins.
