Would you ever pull a tiring starter on a no hitter in the World Series? - Page 2

Good point about Giolito. I think what most people assume in this thread is that the reliever has a better chance of getting the hitters out. It's probably true in most cases, but if there's an exception, it's definitely last night's game where you had an ace at the top of his game. Of course, you have mistakes in hindsight either way (pulling Greinke last year, leaving Harvey in against KC in 2015).
