San Francisco Giants sweep Detroit Tigers in 108th World Series


Marco Scutaro singled home the tie breaking run in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Sunday night to complete a four-game sweep and win their second World Series title in three years.  Ryan Theriot, who went hit less for St. Louis in Game 7 of last year's Series, singled softly into right field off Phil Coke opening the 10th. Brandon Crawford sacrificed, nearly bunting the ball past Coke. Angel Pagan struck out and Scutaro singled into short center field as Theriot slid home ahead of Austin Jackson's throw.
Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs in his first three at-bats in Game 1 and for that monstrous performance Sandoval captured the World series MVP trophy and a new Corvette. Sandoval is the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, after Albert Pujols last year, Reggie Jackson in 1977 and Babe Ruth, who did it in 1926 and 1928.
