<p>MIAMI &#8212; Dee Gordon hit an emotional homer in Miami&#8217;s first at-bat following the death of Marlins ace Jose Fernandez in a boating accident.</p><p>Leading off the first inning Monday night against the New York Mets, Gordon pulled a 2-0 pitch from Bartolo Colon over the wall in right for his first homer of the season.</p><p>Gordon circled the bases slowly and was crying when he reached home plate. He tapped his chest and waved toward the sky, and then sobbed as teammates hugged him in the dugout.</p><p>Gordon took the first pitch batting right-handed, in tribute to the right-handed Fernandez. Gordon then switched to his normal left side.</p><p>Fernandez died Sunday morning, prompting the Marlins to cancel their game that day against Atlanta.</p><style>
