Angels vs. Mariners final score: Angels get blown out in season finale, 12-0

The Los Angeles Angels experienced an unceremonious ending to a disappointing season as they fell to the Seattle Mariners, 12-0, on Wednesday at Safeco Field.

It didn't take long for the Mariners to open up the scoring, as they put up two runs in the bottom of the first behind a Kyle Seager double and a subsequent fielder's choice that scored him. But it was in the bottom of the seventh that the Mariners broke the game open. Casper Wells homered to left to cap a six-run inning and put the game away for good.

Despite the lopsided loss, rookie center fielder Mike Trout was one of the lone bright spots for the Angels, going 2-for-3 with a double. First baseman Kendrys Morales was also 2-for-3 with a double as he and Trout accounted for over half the team's seven hits.

Wells went 2-for-3 with 5 RBI and a walk, and added two runs scored.

Halos ace Jered Weaver pitched just one inning and did not return to the contest after giving up two earned runs, walking two and striking out one. He finishes the season with a 20-5 record and will be in consideration for the American League Cy Young award. According to beat writer Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times via Twitter, Weaver left the game citing general fatigue.

Seattle starter Blake Beavan pitched eight innings, gave up seven hits, and no runs. He finished the season 11-11.

MLB standings: Dodgers, Angels eliminated from playoff contention

With a loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers were eliminated from contention for the final Wild Card spot in the National League. The St. Louis Cardinals gave L.A. an opportunity by falling to the Cincinnati Reds, but the Dodgers could not take advantage and will spend the rest of October at home.

The Giants head into the playoffs as the NL West champions. They will begin the division series on Saturday.

The Angels are four games behind the Oakland A's, Texas Rangers, and Baltimore Orioles for the last playoff spot, and will also stay home for the playoffs. The A's and Rangers are tied atop the AL West standings, and will face off for the division title on Wednesday afternoon.

The A's and Rangers can still tie the Yankees or Orioles for the best record in the American League and earn home-field advantage in the playoffs. Oakland, Texas, and Baltimore all have 93-68 records, with the Yankees at 94-67.
