Jon Lester took a no-hitter attempt into the eighth inning, an effort that had been revived by an official scorer's reversal, and while the no-hitter was ultimately broken up, he earned the victory that ended the longest winless streak of his career as the Cubs defeated Atlanta with a shutout performance.
