After six scoreless frames, the Astros finally broke through in the seventh. J.D. Martinez delivered a one-out single - Houston's second hit of the night - and Carter launched his 11th homer two batters later for a 2-0 lead.
Jose Cisnero worked two innings for Houston and Jose Veras allowed two baserunners in the ninth before securing his 10th save in 13 opportunities.
Williams (4-2) was the hard-luck loser after yielding two runs and three hits over seven innings. Erick Aybar also recorded two hits for the Angels, who have lost four of six following an eight-game winning streak.
