CONLEY ISLAND: After being transferred from Double-A Harrisburg earlier in the day, RHP BRYCE CONLEY made his Red Wings debut on the mound last night...the Alpharetta, Georgia native carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and finished his day allowing one earned on three hits with three strikeouts and two walks across 6.0 full frames...this comes one start after he came one out shy of a no-hitter on 6/24 at Akron (CLE) with Double-A Harrisburg...Conley has turned in at least 5.0 innings in each of his last eight outings dating back to 5/21...since the beginning of June, Conley leads all Double and Triple-A pitchers with 36.2 innings pitched, ranks fifth (min. 25.0 IP) with a 0.93 WHIP and 5.40 hits-per-nine, and is tied for ninth with 31 strikeouts...

DOUBLE ME UP: With two double plays turned in last night's game, the Wings have now turned a double play in 12 straight games...the last time the Wings accomplished that feat was in 2007 (7/18-27)...since the streak began, the Red Wings have led all of Major and Minor League Baseball in that category with 23.
