Moments before taking the field for their first game without Jose Fernandez, and after sharing a warm embrace with their opponents, the mourning Miami Marlins turned to their biggest star for some support.
Giancarlo Stanton, who "lost (his) brother" when the 24-year-old right-hander was killed Sunday in a boating accident, fought back tears as he delivered a moving pregame speech to his bereaved teammates Monday night at Marlins Park.
"We're going to find a way to do this," Stanton said. "I love all you guys. Let's do this. For Jose."
