Phillies' clubhouse reflects on life of Marlins' Jose Fernandez
The clubhouse mood following the Phillies’ 17-0 loss to the Mets Sunday was somber, in part because of the disastrous game that had just wrapped up, but also because of the tragic news of Marlins star pitcher Jose Fernandez’s death in a boating accident early Sunday morning. “This morning, that was quite a surprise,” manager Pete Mackanin said of the atmosphere of the day. Fernandez had built a strong track record against the Phillies in his young career, amassing a 2.88 ERA in six starts.
