As A Tribute To Jose Fernandez, Teammate Dee Gordon Takes A Pitch From The Other Side Of The Plate
When it was the Marlins turn to come to bat in the bottom of the first, the left-handed-hitting Dee Gordon stepped into the right-handed side of the box - the one that Fernandez swung from. After taking the first pitch from Bartolo Colon and switching helmets - presumably he was wearing Fernandez's helmet - Gordon hit his first home run of the season.
That's a touching and heartbreaking tribute you could never plan for.
