Nah. First game. Cruz misplayed two balls in CF. Made things a lot worse. He didn’t get pulled because he was pitching poorly (he was). He got pulled because he threw 37 pitches in the first inning of the first game. They likely didn’t want that to compound and risk injury while still building up to full strength. Probably too cautious but they are going to be.
