Seranthony Dominguez had his first scoreless outing in over a week Wednesday afternoon, closing the door on the Cardinals after eight shutout innings from Jerad Eickhoff. It was just his second scoreless outing out of his last five appearances for the Phillies.
Dominguez now has a 5.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and .271 opposing batting average in 16 outings so far this year. All of these numbers are significantly worse than last year. When trying to find the source of these poor results, some issues arise.
The first place to look is Dominguez’s strikeout and walk numbers.
