Kazmir, a Houston native, is 5-5 with a 2.38 ERA with 101 strikeouts this season.

"Scott Kazmir is one of the best pitchers in the American League and strengthens our rotation," Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said in a release. "His addition gives the Astros a better chance of reaching and succeeding in the postseason. It has been a while since the Astros have been relevant late in the summer and winning now is a priority."
Kazmir is 31 and will be a free agent after this season.
