After Markakis hit his seventh home run of the year, Braves third baseman Brandon Phillips scored the winning run in the eighth inning after a throwing error by Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado sent the ball sailing past first base on a single by Tyler Flowers.
The Braves won Tuesday’s game, 4-3.
The Braves return to Coors Field to play the third of four games against the Rockies on Wednesday at 8:40 p.m.
