Hanley Ramirez added two hits and scored three times for the Marlins, who started a 10-game homestand. Heath Bell pitched a hitless ninth for his sixth save.
Jordan Pacheco started the rally in the first with a one-out infield single for the Rockies and Carlos Gonzalez followed with a single. Michael Cuddyer drilled a two-run double to deep left field and Troy Tulowitzki followed with his fifth homer, a two-run blast to left field.
Moyer (2-4) allowed nine hits, four walks and six runs in 3 2/3 innings.
