ST. LOUIS -- Swallowing a bit of pride has paid off for Seranthony Dominguez and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Three months ago, Dominguez was a flamethrowing starter at Double-A Reading. On Saturday, the 23-year-old righty pitched two perfect innings to earn his first Major League save in a 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
"When they told me that they wanted me to be a reliever I thought about it for a minute, because obviously any pitcher wants to be a starting pitcher, you don't want to be a reliever at first," Dominguez said through an interpreter.
