CHICAGO — Nick Markakis entered the day with two home runs. He doubled that and helped the Atlanta Braves to a rare feel-good moment in a rough season. Markakis’ two homers including a tying solo shot in the ninth inning, and Tyler Flowers’ two-out single in the 11th early Friday morning gave the Braves a 4-3 victory over the slumping Chicago Cubs.
