What's new: Nick Markakis is breathing a little easier after snapping a streak of 393 plate appearances before hitting his first home run of the season — and as a Brave — with his first-inning shot to center field off Brandon Beachy on Monday. Just as important for the Braves was leadoff hitter Jace Peterson showing some signs of life at the plate in the series opener, going 2-for-5 with a double and three RBIs. It was just his second multi-hit game in July. The Braves rank 11th in the National League in batting average (.243) and on-base percentage (.319) from the leadoff spot. Eury Perez was 6-for-16 (.375) with three doubles over his previous four games (not including one where he was announced as a pinch hitter) entering Tuesday.
