That game was 2 days before my series against them, so for the 2nd and 3rd games, they had 6 of the 7 relief pitchers with red status and 1 with yellow (around 46% rested). Most of them pitched 4 or 5 games in 6 days. The AI should do a better job promoting reinforcement from the minors in these extreme cases.
