The Red Sox showered David Ortiz with baby powder after his game-winning double

Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz carried his team to an epic 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday. Big Papi blasted an RBI triple to left-center field in the ninth to send the game to extra innings. Then, in the bottom of the 11th, Ortiz won the game with a walk-off double.

To celebrate, his teammates doused him with baby powder.

Ortiz joins Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron as one of the only players with at least 600 career doubles and 500 career home runs.
