{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Edwin Diaz's trumpets have become a cultural phenomenon not only in Queens but throughout the baseball world.

However, the song "Narco" has now become a troll tactic for the Amazin's bitter division rivals.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The defending champion Atlanta Braves have been chasing the Mets in the NL East Race all season long, but it became a one-game lead for New York, the shortest the lead has been since April 12's 0.5 games.
The Mets fell to the lowly Washington Nationals, so Truist Park in Atlanta updated their fans with the news.
And along with it, they played the trumpets.

Braves' William Contreras also uses the song as his walk-up music, however, Blasterjaxx — its main artist — said the song should only be used for the All-Star closer.
"For us, Edwin is the official one, that’s for sure," Idir Makhlaf, a member of Blasterjaxx, said on MLB Network’s "Off Base" program this week. "You can’t have more, right? That’s impossible. You have to choose your own song."
