Edwin Díaz made his Los Angeles Dodgers debut on Friday night at Dodger Stadium, entering to his signature song 'Narco' accompanied by a live trumpeter. He closed out a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, striking out two of four batters faced for his first save of the season. The entrance added flair to the game, delighting fans.
Edwin Díaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning to secure the Dodgers' 5-4 win over the D-backs at Dodger Stadium. Entering from the left-field bullpen, he was greeted by Timmy Trumpet’s 'Narco,' the electronic dance music track he popularized during his time closing games for the New York Mets at Citi Field. This time, Los Angeles trumpeter Tatiana Tate provided live accompaniment, enhancing the dramatic entrance. Díaz struck out two of the four batters he faced in his debut appearance in Dodger blue. 'I was surprised a little bit,' Díaz said. 'I heard a trumpet sounding before I was coming out. I said, 'No way, they got a live trumpet.' It was pretty fun. I enjoyed it, and I know fans enjoyed, too.' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts anticipated the possibility. 'I got word that there might be a trumpet player,' Roberts said. 'That was great. I was hoping to get him in there, and it worked out, and he performed. I think the fans got what they were hoping for.' Díaz has a history with live performances of 'Narco.' In August 2022, Timmy Trumpet played it live from the third-base line at Citi Field during a Mets win over the Dodgers. More recently, at the World Baseball Classic earlier this month, Díaz entered to the song while pitching for Puerto Rico at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan.
