Wheeler has thrown 71 of 101 pitches for strikes. He has not thrown a complete game since 2021, when he pitched three, including a pair of shutouts.
A night earlier, Philadelphia's Spencer Turnbull didn’t allow a hit until Gavin Sheets’ one-out single in the seventh.
Chicago entered Saturday hitting a major league-low .190 and its 3-16 record was the worst after 19 games in team history.
