Going to be tough, but by adding 2x4's 12" on center might help. That is a long span for 2x4's. Try to find as dry as you can or use non treated that will not move as much. Next time, use 2x6's 16" on center or 2x8's. 
Google rafter bearing weight/load/span.

Some corner/angle bracing might help or install another set of post in the middle. but yeah, really need to shorten that span
