Wheeler (1-3) didn't give up a hit until rookie Korey Lee's one-out single on a hard grounder into right field that just eluded diving first baseman Bryce Harper. The 33-year-old right-hander struck out eight, walked two and allowed no runs while throwing 75 of 106 pitches for strikes.
Wheeler was dominant, allowing only two balls to leave the infield before Lee's hit. His toughest batter probably was his first, when Nicky Lopez worked a 10-pitch walk leading off the game.
José Alvarado earned his fourth save, after with two outs and the bases loaded and retiring Andrew Benintendi on a first-pitch groundout.
Nick Castellanos tripled, had two singles and drove in a pair of runs for the Phillies.
