MIAMI -- Bartolo Colon took his thumping on an emotional night with grace, and only regretted that Jose Fernandez didnt get the win.Colon allowed a season-high seven runs in 2 1/3 innings, and the New York Mets lost 7-3 to the grieving Miami Marlins on Monday.New Yorks loss tightened the NL wild-card standings, but the playoff race was temporarily overshadowed by a succession of heart-tugging moments as the Marlins mourned the death of Fernandez in a boat accident early Sunday.It was very difficult for everything theyre going through, Colon said through an interpreter. Its very difficult for me, too, because it was someone that I had some sort of relationship with. Jose looked up to me, and we got along well.Colon gave up a homer to Dee Gordon leading off the first inning, and by the third the score was 7-0.It was great for them that they were able to win, Colon said. You know what, though, I really would have enjoyed it if it was Jose who got the win over me.Fernandez had been scheduled to pitch for Miami.The blowout was a big change for the Mets, who began the week on a stretch of outscoring opponents 25-0 over a two-game span. New York still leads the San Francisco Giants by a half-game for the top spot in the wild-card race.I know (tonight was) all for Jose and the memory of Jose, but I like to win, Mets manager Terry Collins said. This night is over, and hopefully we can get back to do what we do and start winning some baseball games.The left-handed-hitting Gordon paid tribute to Fernandez by stepping to the plate in the first inning as a righty.That was incredible, Colon said. He did that in honor of his teammate.After one pitch, Gordon switched to his customary left side, and pulled a 2-0 delivery from Colon into the upper deck for his first homer of the season.The improbable clout brought tears, even from Gordon. After crossing the plate Gordon tapped his chest and waved toward the sky, and sobbed as teammates hugged him in the dugout.Even the Mets appreciated what Gordons homer meant.I saw him crying when he rounded first base, Mets catcher Travis dArnaud said. I was crying too.Each of the Marlins wore black jerseys bearing Fernandezs No. 16 and name, a tribute they had suggested. Slugger Giancarlo Stanton delivered an emotional speech as the entire team gathered at the mound moments before the game, and then contributed a hit, a run and a running, lunging backhanded catch in right field to rob Jay Bruce.PREGAMEThe pregame ceremony included a slow, solemn solo trumpet rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Following the national anthem, Collins led his Mets across the field to share hugs with the Marlins. The mood was such that Miami batting coach Barry Bonds even hugged each of the umpires.This is bigger than baseball tonight, Collins said. This kid touched a lot of people; he touched the game. There were a lot of people affected by what happened.TRAINERS ROOMMets: RHP Noah Syndergaard, who missed Saturdays start with strep throat, was cleared to pitch Tuesday. ...

BOSTON -- Prosecutors are again asking a judge to allow them to use the contents of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandezs cellphone as evidence in his upcoming double murder trial.Lawyers for Hernandez argue that authorities learned about the phone through confidential communications between Hernandez and his sports agent, Brian Murphy, who is also an attorney. They have requested that the contents be barred as evidence.But in a written response released Friday, prosecutors said Hernandez has not established that he has a protected attorney-client relationship with Murphy. They said Murphy has been administratively suspended from practicing law and does not maintain a legal practice as a sports agent in California.The defendants sports agent relationship with Murphy alone does not and cannot protect their communications, prosecutors from Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conleys office argued in the court filing.Hernandez is scheduled to go on trial in February in the 2012 shooting deaths of two men he encountered at a Boston nightclub. He has pleaded not guilty in the slayings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.Hernandez is already serving a life sentence in the 22013 killing of semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd.ddddddddddddProsecutors have asked a judge to hold a hearing on the cellphone issue.State police seized the phone after Lloyd was killed in June 2013. Text messages included communications between Hernandez and Murphy. The phone also contained text messages between Hernandez and Alexander Bradley, a Hernandez friend who was with him the night of the 2012 shootings.Hernandez is also charged with witness intimidation and accused of shooting Bradley in 2013 in Florida. Massachusetts prosecutors have said Hernandez shot Bradley because he was a witness to the 2012 shootings and Hernandez was worried he would talk.The messages refer to efforts to settle a lawsuit Bradley intended to file against Hernandez.So Ill watch as it hits tv have fun explaining that to coach n the the pats franchise ... Shoulda resolved this amicably as we offered you, Bradley said in a text message to Hernandez.Bradley survived the shooting and is expected to be the star prosecution witness against Hernandez at his trial.
