Hearing Timmy Trumpet play over the speakers of a Major League Baseball stadium isn’t ever music to an opposing team’s ears.

When the now-infamous song called “Narco” plays, it usually means the opposing team is losing heading into the ninth inning and about to face one of the best closers in MLB over the last decade. His name? Edwin Díaz.

That exact situation is one the Texas Rangers found themselves in on Friday night in their first game of a three-game set against the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

With “Narco” playing and the Rangers trailing by three runs, superstar closer Díaz trotted in from the Dodgers bullpen in a moment that seemed all but destined to lead to another save in the illustrious career of one of the game’s best.

However, the Rangers had other plans and showed off their fight and resolve that have led to a strong offensive start to the season.

Joc Pederson led off the ninth inning, coming into the at-bat with just three hits on the season. Despite that, Pederson ripped a huge base hit up the middle to start the frame off strong.

The very next batter was Evan Carter, and it didn’t take him long to do damage. On the first pitch of the at-bat, Carter ripped an inside fastball just over the right field wall and out of the reach of Dodgers superstar outfielder Kyle Tucker.

Carter’s blast was his first of the season, and the Rangers hope that it will be his first of many in a strong bounce-back campaign.

Still with no one out, the Rangers trailed by just one, but after Danny Jansen struck out on an ABS challenge and Josh Smith popped out to shortstop, things began to look bleak.

Coming up representing the Rangers' last hope, Josh Jung ripped a single into left field to keep the game alive.

Sam Haggerty pinch ran for Jung, and on the very first pitch of the next at-bat, he would swipe second base to put the tying run into scoring position.

After an intentional walk to Brandon Nimmo, the game was in the hands of Ezequiel Duran, who took over for Wyatt Langford after he left the game with a quad injury.

Duran laced a base hit into left field to tie the game and finish off an incredible comeback to tie the game in the ninth.

The Rangers did wind up losing the game in the bottom of the ninth as Max Muncy blasted his third home run of the night, but the ninth-inning comeback has to give Texas a big positive to take forward.

Being able to get clutch hits from multiple players in different forms against one of the game’s best closers is something the Rangers will no doubt hope can continue throughout the season.
