Don Mattingly pulled Adam Conley after 116 pitches despite having a no hitter through 7 2/3 innings.

Conley's exit elicited boos from Miller Park.

''It was easy right there,'' Mattingly said of the decision. ''I knew he couldn't finish. We weren't going to let him finish.''

Conley struck out seven and walked four.

''I never like coming out of the game no matter what the circumstances are, but considering where I was at the in the game and everything I knew what was going on,'' Conley said. ''I knew coming into the eighth I was already at about 100 (pitches).''

Conley's career high for pitches was 106 last season.
