Jon Lester has been close as his last couple starts he is just missing the potential Winer's Circle with a bad pitch here and bad offering there. Well on Saturday Night in Hotlanta vs Braves Country Lester goes 8.1 frames giving up just two hits and no runs. Both of those hits came in the 8th as he took a no-hitter into that frame before giving way top the Cubs Pen who still kept the shutout in tact.
The North Siders went back to back RBI single in the 3rd and 4th to go up 2-0 on the Braves and their starter Manny Banuelos. Banuelos took the loss giving up just two runs on six hits through 4.2 Ip. Lester was cruising until the 8th when former Pale Hose A.J. Pierzynski and Adrelton Simmons sandwiched before and after a Juan Uribe fly-out chased Lester.
The Cubs Pen led by Hector Rondon got out of the 8th unscathed as Jason Motte would walk one and strike out one in the 9th for a Cubs 4-0 "W"! Chicago moves to 48-41 while Braves Country falls to 43-48...
