After a long week, the Marlins finally picked up their first win under new manager Dan Jennings on Saturday night, beating the Orioles 1-0 in 13 innings on Martin Prado's walk-off single (box score). Jennings moved from GM to manager on Monday.
After the win, the Marlins celebrated by going for a swim and dunking Jennings in the pool at the Clevelander bar beyond the left field wall in Marlins Park. To the action footage:

An unnamed Marlins player gave Jennings the ol' shaving cream pie to the face before dunking him in the pool. "It's the best, dirtiest bath I've ever had," said Jennings to Associated Press after the game.
Two years ago the Dodgers drew the ire of the Diamondbacks when they celebrated their NL West title by going for a swim in the Chase Field pool. The Marlins celebrated in their own ballpark though, and since Jennings was involved, it stands to reason the manager approved.
The win snapped Miami's eight-game losing streak. If you can't celebrate after that, when can you?
