CLEVELAND: Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin isn’t just the “Little Cowboy” in the starting rotation anymore. He’s also the “Powder King.”

Saturday night, as the Indians and Toronto Blue Jays were tied 1-1, Tomlin walked past some talcum powder in an area behind the Indians’ dugout. He had an idea to add a new ingredient to the Indians’ walk-off celebrations.

Sure enough, Francisco Lindor belted a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th, and Tomlin had his chance, peppering Lindor with powder amidst the rain of water and Gatorade being dumped on him. Though, the trial run didn’t go as well.
