There was only one Astros reliever who didn’t make it into Wednesday’s 13-inning, 3-2 win on Thursday, although he certainly would have had the game progressed. He happens to be one of four relievers in the majors with at least 10 innings thrown from July 7 on and no earned runs allowed.
Lefty Tony Sipp was bit by the home run earlier this year, but he’s been lights out for a month and a half now. Going into play July 7, he had a 3.26 ERA. Fourteen scoreless innings in 14 appearances later, he’s dropped that mark to 2.
