What happened: The closer-song idea followed Sandy Alcantara's first MLB save, a late finish that landed after midnight. He was back on the mound after 101 pitches Monday, turning the appearance into more than a routine bullpen cameo.

Why it matters: A first save is a rare entry on Alcantara's resume, especially for a pitcher better known for heavy workloads than one-inning assignments. The combination of a save chance and a quick turnaround made the outing notable beyond the novelty of the music talk.

What to watch: Watch whether Alcantara gets another late-inning call or whether this stays a one-off. Another save chance would give the closer chatter a little more weight.
