Eric O'Flaherty escaped the jam by striking out Chris Snyder to end the inning.
Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske drove in an insurance run with a single in the eighth inning that made it 6-4.
Houston had a chance to tie in the ninth, but Johnson grounded into a double play with runners on first and second and nobody out before Snyder grounded to third to end it.
"I let them off the hook a little bit," Johnson said. "It was a bad night. This one is on me. I had a bunch of guys on base when I was hitting, and I didn't come up with the big hit. I'll take this one."
