Jose Fernandez R.I.P.

#16

There were few dry eyes. Dee Gordon's leadoff homer launched the Marlins to a 7-3 win against the New York Mets in Miami's first game since the death of star pitcher Jose Fernandez. The team held a pregame ceremony at the mound and wrote messages in the dirt to Fernandez - who died in a boating accident Sunday at age 24 - before resuming their quest for the NL wild card. Fernandez's funeral is set for Thursday, before the Marlins close the regular season with a trip to Washington.
