I was going to go all Michael Canter and use a Nine Inch Nails “Closer” epigram due to the heteronymous nature of the song title, but maybe it’s best to avoid any problematic content and just lean into “The Downward Spiral” instead. Daniel Palencia earned his first save of the season on May 21, making him the seventh Cubs pitcher to do so this season. Most of those were one-off situations, products of circumstance with guys like Colin Rea (March 31 at Sacramento) and Chris Flexen (May 2 at Milwaukee) being used as needed.
