Dominguez was with Mexico for the 2007 Baseball World Cup and was Mexico's best pitcher, allowing no runs on 3 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings while fanning eight for the 7th-place squad. He was at the center of a conflict in a game against Australia, plunking Trent Oeltjen in the back in the 7th inning. Oeltjen stole second even though Australia had a solid lead and Dominguez then picked him off. After a verbal confrontation, a brawl ensued.
