In Atlanta, the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5 in 11 innings. Cubs' starting pitcher Randy Wells was pitching phenomenally, pitching a no-hitter in six and two-thirds innings. The first hit that was given up by Wells was from Chipper Jones. From there, things went south for the Cubs. They were up 5-0 going into the eighth inning when the Braves started their comeback. They scored three runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by Garrett Anderson's home run, and they tied it in the ninth with a two-run home run from Jeff Francoeur. Chipper Jones had the game-winning RBI with his single in the 12th inning that drove home Yunel Escobar.
Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar forward Lebron James had surgery in the Cleveland Clinic to remove a benign growth in his mouth, something that was diagnosed several months ago. James knew about this growth in his mouth, but was told that he can wait until after the season to get the problem fixed. The surgery was five hours long because of the sensitivity of the area, which includes a lot of nerves and blood vessels. The surgery reportedly happened successfully and James is expected to leave the hospital soon.
