A guy had just reached first on an infield single and Teoscar was up next who was 2/2 including a hard hit ball last at bat. It was still a one run game at that point.
I believe that was the reason behind the decision. But the wrong one IMO. Kikuchi was dealing and his body language was strong. He would have gotten out of it. And the relievers could have been bumped down an inning each.
