I don't think there were any outs....so trying to hit a fly ball to the outfield was a totally reasonable thing to do. Whereas making contact, results in a shallow fly ball, or ground out where the run can be thrown out at home.
Even with the infield in...a line drive hit hard at a fielder, likely doesn't kill you because the fielders have a tough time getting back to the base before a baserunner can. So yeah, Cruz should be taking a healthy swing there.
