Zack Wheeler lasted just 1 2/3 innings against the Cubs on Tuesday allowing eight earned runs, two home runs, six hits and three walks in a 14-3 rout. Before the annihilation, Wheeler had been on a good run over his past seven starts (41 innings) in which he allowed only 11 earned runs for a 2.41 ERA. Control issues finally caught up with Wheeler on Tuesday in which he walked three in a brutal second inning, culminating in an Ian Happ grand slam.
