Sipp allowed two singles while recording just one out during Wednesday's win over Texas, but was bailed out by Pat Neshek, who prevented his inherited runners from scoring by inducing an inning-ending double-play.

Despite performing well in May (1.74 ERA), Sipp has been inconsistent in relief for the Astros this season. The veteran southpaw owns a 3.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings, but he's allowed five home runs after allowing five all of last season in 54.1 innings. Sipp has held right-handed hitters below the Mendoza Line over the last two seasons, but they're hitting .270 off him in 2016.
