ATLANTA, April 15 (UPI) -- Chipper and Andruw Jones both hit home runs Sunday as the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins 8-4.
Chipper Jones hit a three-run shot in a five-run second inning. Andruw Jones added a two-run blast in the bottom of the fifth as Atlanta built an 8-1 lead through eight innings.
Brian McCann and Matt Diaz each had two hits for the Braves, who ended a two-game slide and improved to an National League East-best 8-3.

The Marlins got one hit and two RBI from Alfredo Amezaga, while Jason Wood drove in a run. Atlanta scored three times in the ninth but its rally fell short.

Andruw Jones wore the No. 42 to honor Jackie Robinson Day.
