Just a guess though.

Having said that I quite clearly recall a manager IRL doing something (probably not the same situation) where he asked a very tired and abused pitcher to give him one batter.
I have a traditional 7 man pen.

Harvey went 7
Nunez (setup) went 2
Nao (closer) went 2
Garcia (setup) went 5

Next game:

Velasquez went 7, left up 4-1
Garcia pitched to one batter
Williams (middle relief) went 1
Yates (setup) went 1 for the save
