GAME: Angels (89-72, 3rd, AL West, – 4.0 GB) at Mariners (74-87, 4th, AL West, – 20.0 GB). GAME #: 162. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 19th (Angels lead 11-7). WHEN: Wednesday, 3:40 p.m., Safeco Field, Seattle, WA. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Jered Weaver (Los Angeles, 20-4, 2.73) vs. RHP Blake Beavan (Seattle, 10-11, 4.68). STREAKS: Mariners W 1; Angels L 1. TV: Root Sports. RADIO: ESPN 710, Mariners Radio Network
The Mariners really have nothing to play for in Wednesday’s season-ending game against the Los Angeles Angels, who will also miss the postseason. But two Angels — Jered Weaver and Mike Trout — still have much at stake. Weaver will make his last case for the AL Cy Young Award and Trout his final argument for AL Most Valuable Player.
Weaver (20-4), 2.73 will square off against Blake Beavan, who has had an inconsistent season and is coming off his shortest outing of the second half, a 4.2-inning stint against Oakland last Friday. Beavan, though, has had success with Trout, currently hitting .323.
Beavan has held Trout hitless in eight at-bats. A closer look at Wednesday’s season ender:
