Suzuki and Ruiz also hit back-to-back singles in the fourth, and in the sixth, Markakis led off with a double, and Ruiz added an RBI two-bagger.
"Suzuki's been rolling the last two or three games," manager Brian Snitker said. "He's got about six doubles I think, swinging the bat pretty good. ... As long as the guys are healthy, we're in good shape."
Bullpen battle continues
Three top candidates for the Braves' final bullpen spot pitched Saturday, holding Detroit scoreless after Colon allowed six runs.
Right-hander Blaine Boyer bailed Colon out of a two-out jam in the fourth, getting Steven Moya to fly out to left field with runners at second at third.
