Xavier Edwards hit an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Automatic runner Griffin Conine advanced to third on Nick Fortes' groundout. Edwards followed with a soft line drive off Derek Law (7-3) that bounced into left field for Miami's first win of the season against Washington after eight losses.
It was also Edwards' first career walk-off hit and he was doused with a bucket of ice water in the post-game celebration.
"I will remember the bucket of ice water," Edwards said. "It was cold, like getting out of a cold tub. Felt similar."
Edwards singled in his last two at-bats after going hitless in his first eight plate appearances since returning from the injured list on Tuesday. With two bases open, Edwards thought he would be walked intentionally to create a force out situation.
