What happened: Wheeler yielded nine hits and five walks while throwing 103 pitches. He struck out four.
Why it matters: His season ERA rose to 3.40 after an uneven month marked by fewer strikes and more line drives. The short start also required five innings of bullpen coverage.
By the numbers: Wheeler averaged 25.8 pitches and allowed 3.5 baserunners per inning.
What to watch: Watch his strike rate and ability to finish hitters in his next start.
