The Giants have brought home their first World Series title since the franchise arrived in San Francisco in 1958.
A 3-1 victory wrapped up a stellar series of pitching as the Giants clinched the 106th World Series four games to one.
It was a mystery thriller that took batters upon batters to unfold. Who would give up the game’s first run? Few would have thought it would be three at once.
At a blazing pace, Tim Lincecum and Cliff Lee were diamond peddlers on the World Series stage, each with their own unique gem.
Then the Lee levee cracked. Edgar Renteria crushed a 3-run home run in the seventh inning with Cody Ross and Juan Uribe on after each had singled.
Texas got a solo home run from Nelson Cruz in the next frame to cut the lead to 3-1.
The first marquee matchup of the postseason was Lincecum versus Roy Halladay in Game One of the NLCS. They did it again in Game 4 of that series.
Game One of the World Series was just a tease for what Lincecum and Lee would offer up on the first night of November. A thriller no Giants fan will ever forget.
