Only one week remained in the season as the Miami Marlins took the field for the first time following the tragic death of star pitcher José Fernández.
With his No. 16 painted on the field, the Marlins played with heavy hearts on this day five years ago. In an emotional contest, Dee Gordon set the tone in a 7-3 victory over the New York Mets at Marlins Park.
With every Miami player wearing No. 16 with Fernandez’s last name across the top, Gordon led off for the Marlins in the bottom of the first on Sept.
