Angels' playoff hopes end, hire new general manager
ANAHEIM – The Los Angeles Angels have capped their 2015 season by hiring longtime New York Yankees executive Billy Eppler to become their general manager.

Bill Stoneman had been interim general manager after Jerry Dipoto resigned his post in early July following a beef with manager Mike Scioscia.

Eppler becomes the 12th general manager in club history. He will report directly to owner Arte Moreno.

The Texas Rangers won AL West on final day. The Angels' loss put the Houston Astros in the playoffs.

The Angels needed to win their finale and have Houston lose in Arizona to force a tiebreaker game for the AL's second wild card. The Astros lost, but already had clinched the wild card after Los Angeles lost.
