Getty Images Wheeler's velocity didn't take any noticeable dip in his outing, as he hit 95.7 mph on his final pitch — his 97th — of the night. The right-hander had been up and down over the last two months, posting a 3.82 ERA since the start of July. Advertisement 'It's been iffy. Today was a little bit better,' Wheeler said after Friday's outing, according to USA Today. 'I was able to throw high without trying to throw it high. Once I get the full feel for that back, I think everything will fall into place. 'All around, good day for the most part.'
