Dom\u00ednguez At the trade deadline, the Baltimore Orioles acquired Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez<\/a>, who was struggling. However, he has now become a reliable piece for them. Prior to the trade deadline, the Orioles had multiple holes to fill in their bullpen. Offseason acquisition Craig Kimbrel<\/a> had been underwhelming, and injuries ravished<\/a> the Orioles. The Orioles addressed these issues in many ways<\/a>, including trading for the right-hander<\/a> from the Phillies. Despite Dom\u00ednguez’s 4.75 ERA with Philadelphia being less than ideal, his positive track record was enough for the Orioles to give him a chance. Dom\u00ednguez has excelled with his new team, and last night against the Nationals, he came in as the closer. The Orioles have not been able to find a consistent closer this season, but Dom\u00ednguez might be the answer.<\/p>\n
