REED ME A BEDTIME STORY: After pitching a scoreless inning in last night's contest RHP Reed Garrett has not allowed an earned run in a Red Wings uniform since 6/12 in St. Paul...in his 11 appearances with Rochester since 6/12, Garrett has logged 11.2 innings pitched, allowing 10 hits and walking three while striking out 13 batters.

On 6/9 Garrett had an ERA of 4.15 (12 ER/26 IP)...since that date, he has lowered his season ERA to 2.87 (12 ER/37.2 IP).

REMEMBER WHEN...: The Wings haven't won a series in Indianapolis since 2005, when they went 3-1 in a four-game series...the three winning pitchers from that series were Willie Eyre, Dave Gassner and Boof Bonser.

FRANK THE TANK: Rochester will look to even up the series at two games apiece Friday night, sending RHP Franklyn Kilome to the mound to make his 7th start with the Wings this season...

In his last two starts, the former New York Met has fanned 16 batters in 8.2 innings (16.63 K/9).
