Wheeler had two extra days between starts after reporting shoulder soreness. His velocity was down, but Wheeler pitched five innings.

After the Phillies went ahead 3-2 in top of the fifth, center fielder Harrison Bader protected that lead in the bottom of the inning with a leaping catch to take a home run away from Corey Seager. Bader was reaching above the 6-foot wall in front of the Texas bullpen in right-center when he made the play.
