If the sliders were all completely neutral then the AI's common response is to pinch-hit with a right-handed batter in high-leverage situations, particularly if the left-handed pitcher is much better against lefties. If you're playing with a roster that has large variations in player ability (which is all Perfect Drafts), best practice is to check "Never lift for a Pinch Hitter" on your best position players. OTOH, it's possible that Gordon had a better chance against the lefty, especially if he has extreme splits (like 94 Dave Righetti).
