TORONTO — Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander had never before been in a conference room to celebrate winning a division title.

Verlander and the Astros clinched their second straight AL West championship just after 2 a.m. Wednesday when Seattle beat visiting Oakland 10-8 in 11 innings.

The Twitter account of the defending World Series champions posted videos of players, coaches and their partners jumping up and down in celebration inside a meeting room at The Ritz-Carlton Toronto.

“It was pretty unique,” Verlander said. “There’s been some unique scenarios, but not like that one.”

Houston opens the AL Division Series at home on Oct. 5 against Central Division champion Cleveland. Infielder Alex Bregman said he was “super pumped” to repeat as division winners.
