PHOENIX — For a few minutes Tuesday, as Phillies relievers long-tossed and went through the rest of their pregame drills, Seranthony Dominguez stood in right field and got a few pointers from one of the most successful closers in franchise history.

But the Phillies’ 2008 World Series hero did share some thoughts that might help Dominguez rebound quickly from blown saves in back-to-back games and make it through the rest of his rookie season — and his first season as a reliever at any level of professional baseball.
