A subtle tweak in his approach has paid off for Domínguez just when the bullpen is looking as volatile as ever.
, with his momentum shifting toward second base, managed to throw home. J.T. Realmuto kept his foot on the plate. Nathan Lukes, the runner on third, was called out.It was an athletic play, one that should have taken some pressure off Domínguez. But instead of capitalizing on that momentum to get out the third out, Domínguez yanked a slider toward Cavan Biggio, hitting him in the foot. It forced in the go-ahead run. Biggio grinned as he jogged to first base.
It has helped. Domínguez hasn’t fully looked like his dominant self, but he’s been better. Since that outing on Aug. 15, he has a 1.23 ERA. He’s trimmed his walk rate from 10.6% to 9.7%. He isn’t allowing as much hard contact. Opponents are hitting .185 against him. Leading into the Toronto series, they were batting .275.
“It’s definitely made his delivery cleaner,” Cotham said. “He’s throwing the ball with really, really consistent shapes in his pitches. Slider is really consistent. Throwing a lot more strikes. And it all starts with how he sets up.
