Minnesota Twins Joe Ryan was caught trying to beat the heat during a recent game against the Chicago White Sox.
Ryan earned his sixth win of the season on Saturday when the Twins hosted the Houston Astros. He was in the dugout rooting on his teammates on Monday in Chicago during his off day, while Chris Paddack handled the starting duties for the Twins.
Moments after the 7th inning came to a close, Ryan sprinkled a powdery substance from what appeared to be a bottle of baby powder down the pants of his Twins’ uniform.

It is unclear if the bottle in question contained the talcum-free version of the powder.

The Twins are in the midst of a strong season. Monday’s win marked the team’s 52nd win of the year, and Minnesota has the fourth-best record in the American League. Meanwhile, the White Sox have only managed to win 26 games so far and own the MLB’s worst record.
