No, American League pitchers are not used to swinging bats and running bases. Therefore, their risk of injury while doing so is much higher than if they did these things in competition every five days, at least.
So now we have the possibility of losing our best pitcher because he was running hard around third on a meaningless play in a game already won against a team like Houston. It really is unfortunate. I say, stop the stupid interleague play until their styles of play are the same.

I originally agreed with you and was blaming interleague play for the injury yesterday while I cursed the NL up and down.
But then my wife said to me "You know, I may not know how to hit, but I'm sure even I can run from 2nd to home and not get hurt. It's running, who doesn't know how to run."
I realized she was right at that time. He was running, besides running like a duck, he should of been able to make it home.
