After a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a run-scoring single in the seventh, Carter connected for his 23rd homer in the ninth. Matt Dominguez followed with a solo shot off Joe Blanton for the Astros fourth back-to-back homers this season.

Jose Altuve and Castro then drew walks during difficult plate appearances, with Castro forcing in a run on Williams 99th pitch.
