.The Philadelphia Phillies' playoff chances are looking bleaker by the day and Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals felt like a major blow. The club, coming off a loss in the first game of the day, held a 6-3 lead heading into the ninth inning. Seranthony Dominguez, who first entered the game in the eighth inning, surrendered three runs in the ninth, watching the tying run come around to score from the dugout after getting pulled. While he wasn't charged with the blown save, his performance clearly was the main factor. The rookie wasn't effective and was undisciplined, walking three batters.

The Philadelphia Phillies currently find themselves in a dangerous skid and things took another turn for the worse Wednesday night in the nation's capital. Leading by a run in the ninth, Seranthony Dominguez entered the game seeking a save but would surrender a heartbreaking, two-run home run as the Nationals walked off with the victory. It was the rookie's fourth loss and fourth blown save of the year. The Phillies have now lost four consecutive games, seven of their last 10 and have fallen three games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Seranthony Dominguez entered Wednesday night's game in the eighth inning after reliever Pat Neshek ran into trouble. With the Phillies holding a three-run lead, the rookie closer managed to escape the eighth. Later, he would retire the side in order in the ninth for his 11th save of the season. This was a much-needed performance for the 23-year-old after having blown each of his last two save opportunities. Dominguez has also displayed a promising level of comfortability against the best team in baseball, now having made three appearances against the Boston Red Sox and having not allowed a single hit.

After the Philadelphia Phillies managed to score two runs, backing up Jake Arrieta's masterful start, the club turned to closer Seranthony Dominguez to finish off a victory in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. The rookie's outing was disastrous almost from the start, as he allowed a home run to the second batter he faced. Allowing a double and then a single, the lead evaporated almost instantly. Manager Gabe Kapler immediately removed Dominguez after the save was blown, his second consecutive blown save and third of the season. Considering how quickly Kapler moves in terms of closers, Dominguez might have put his ninth-inning role in harm.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Seranthony Dominguez appeared for the second time in a row against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park Tuesday night. While his appearance on Monday came in a non-save situation, Tuesday's came in the ninth inning with his club up by two runs. Things got off to a rocky start, as he walked a batter and hit the next, but he managed to retire the next three to record the save. While Dominguez was successful on the day, a slight issue with his control could be worrying. In his first 29 outings, the 23-year-old never walked batters in consecutive appearances. Following his save against the Red Sox, he's now recorded seven walks in his last four games.

Dominguez fell to 1-3 on the season after allowing a pair of runs on three walks and a hit Monday against the Dodgers, getting just a single out.

Beginning a major home series with the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies suffered a defeat that falls on their de facto closer. Rookie Seranthony Dominguez, who has recorded more saves than any reliever on the club since his debut, entered in the ninth with the score tied. He would surrender two runs while just recording one out, picking up his third defeat of the year. Looking his track record, albeit a small one, Dominguez will occasionally put forth a negative performance, but the positive ones far outnumber those. As a result, the Phillies and his owners will live with nights like these.

After Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Victor Arano spent a week as the main closer, manager Gabe Kapler called on Seranthony Dominguez to once again assume that role. The 23-year-old initially took over the job by force, making 12 consecutive scoreless outings to begin his career. On Thursday, he entered with a one-run lead intact and tossed a perfect ninth, striking out a batter. While it appears unlikely that we'll get one pitcher as clear-cut closer, Dominguez appeared to take over the majority of closing duties before Arano's stretch and figures to remain at the top of the pecking order moving forward.

Now seemingly the number two man in the bullpen pecking order with the Philadelphia Phillies, Seranthony Dominguez has not let the demotion hurt his performances on the mound. The rookie came on in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the New York Mets, entering the game in the eighth inning. The score was tied at three runs each and the 23-year-old would turn in two perfect innings, striking out one along the way to send the game into extra innings. Perhaps helping his case in the closer battle, Victor Arano, who replaced him as the ninth-inning man recently, took the loss in the tenth.

With the Philadelphia Phillies clinging to a one-run lead against the Baltimore Orioles late Tuesday night, Seranthony Dominguez was called on for a four-out save. The 23-year-old, who stormed onto the scene by not allowing a run through his first 12 appearances, has settled into the season after allowing some runs and bouncing back. Since the end of May, he's become the main closer on the squad and began his Tuesday appearance tossing two wild pitches, moving the tying run to third. Additionally, he walked the two ensuing batters to load the bases, but he managed to induce a groundout to escape with the lead intact. In the ninth inning he was more complete, recording a pair of strikeouts to secure the save. If June wasn't enough of a signal, Dominguez should be a very attractive fantasy player, as he seems poised for save opportunities every night.

After a two-inning performance that resulted in his fifth save of the season Wednesday night against the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez was back on the mound Thursday night. Taking on the Washington Nationals, the Phillies failed to keep a three-run lead intact, forcing Gabe Kapler's hand. With just two outs, both strikeouts, Dominguez secured his sixth save of the season. The 23-year-old now has 36 strikeouts on the year and is now two appearances removed from his debacle against the Nationals in Washington.

After Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin's masterful performance against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night, manager Gabe Kapler wasted no time in going to his best reliever. Seeking to avoid a sweep, the skipper called for relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez to close out the game with a two-inning appearance. The 23-year-old, who took a loss against the Nationals his last time out, was much better this time around, striking out three in his perfect performance. He was rewarded with a save, his fifth of the season. Dominguez now has 34 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings of work and is the best fantasy option for saves in this bullpen as of now.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez took a rare hit on Tuesday night, as the St. Louis Cardinals dealt him the first defeat of his professional career. The 23-year-old entered the game in the ninth inning after the Phillies offense had just come back to tie things at six runs. While Dominguez appeared well on his way to another dominant outing as he struck out the first two batters he faced, the third batter connected on a solo home run to right. That would eventually be the decisive run, as the Phillies and Dominguez were dealt the loss. It was the fourth run he's allowed since he made his debut, now sporting a 1.61 ERA.

Last week, he surrendered three runs in two appearances against the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs. On Tuesday night, he was thrown right back into the fire, entering the ninth inning at home with the Phillies trying to hang on to a slim lead against the Colorado Rockies. Before he entered, the bullpen allowed four consecutive singles to load the bases and cut the lead to three runs.

Heading into Wednesday's game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Seranthony Dominguez had not allowed a run in his major league career. The 23-year-old rookie had made 12 appearances this season, allowing just two hits and no walks. On Wednesday night, however, he entered the ninth inning after retiring the side in order in the eighth. Leading off with the first walk he's allowed in his career, he struck out the second batter before an error moved the runner to second. Holding a two-run lead, he allowed a single, putting runners on the corners with one out. That was enough for manager Gabe Kapler to remove Dominguez from the game, but the two runners he left would score in a game-deciding grand slam.

After Aaron Nola tossed seven brilliant innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night at Chavez Ravine, manager Gabe Kapler turned to the bullpen for the final six outs of the game. His first option was rookie phenom Seranthony Dominguez, who entered the game having not allowed a single run through the first 10 appearances of his career. The 23-year-old would toss two perfect innings, striking out two to record his second save of the season. At this point, the situation is becoming harder for Kapler to evade. While he prefers to keep the closer situation up in the air, Dominguez routinely proves he's the most consistent arm in the bullpen.

The Philadelphia Phillies yet again had a different reliever close out a game for them. This time it was reliever Seranthony Dominguez, who picked up his second save of the season after two clean innings in the Phillies 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. You really never know who will finish off games lately for manager Gabe Kapler, and Thursday it was the hard-throwing Dominguez. The 23-year-old has been dominant since being called up and has yet to allow a run this season in 11 appearances. He is a must-own in dynasty setups and leagues with holds and is pushing towards must-own territory in all leagues, especially if he continues to pick up saves.

While the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen and the closer situation remains a mystery, one thing continues to become clearer, and that is that rookie Seranthony Dominguez is the class of the unit. The 23-year-old once again pitched on Wednesday night, coming on in relief of Jake Arrieta in the seventh inning with two away. He would record the last out, then pitch a scoreless eighth, striking out one batter. For the season now, Dominguez has tossed nine shutout innings, surrendering just one hit and striking out nine.

As a result of reliever Adam Morgan's back injury and subsequent disabled list stint, the Philadelphia Phillies promoted pitcher Seranthony Dominguez on Monday from Double-A Reading. The 23-year-old is the 11th top prospect in the Phillies organization, according to MLB Pipeline. In 13 innings of work for Reading this year, he posted a 2.08 ERA with 18 strikeouts and a pair of walks. He arrives as a reliever and could very well see action sooner rather than later.
