The Houston Astros have signed starting pitcher Brett Myers to a two-year contract extension with a club option for a third year.

The guaranteed value of the two-year deal, including a buyout on the third season, is $21 million. If Myers stays through 2013 it will guarantee the right-hander $28 million and it contains performance bonuses that could up the value to $29.5 million.

Myers is 8-6 with a 3.10 ERA and has pitched at least six innings in each of his 21 starts this season. The 29-year-old pitcher signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract with a mutual option for 2011 in January.
