David Ortiz earns baby powder shower after 20th career walkoff hit

David Ortiz passed Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews on Saturday to take sole possession of 22nd place on the all-time home runs list, with 513, in a 6-5 win against the Astros.

But that was just the start of what turned out to be an historic day for Ortiz. The Red Sox slugger also finished a single shy of the cycle when he belted a walkoff double in the 11th inning. Ortiz's teammates rewarded him with a baby powder shower at second base.
