The San Francisco Giants won the World Series Sunday night, completing a four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers and capturing the title for the second time in three years.
The final game went to 10 innings at Comerica Park in Detroit and ended when the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, who had hit a home run earlier in the game, struck out looking against Giants pitcher Sergio Romo. At the top of the inning, San Francisco second baseman Marco Scutaro singled to bring home designated hitter Ryan Theriot, who had singled earlier in the inning, and pulled the Giants to a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the 10th.
