Score and situation: The San Francisco Giants secured their second World Series championship in three years and seventh in franchise history with to an extra inning 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. In the process, they became the first National League to sweep the World Series since the Cincinnati Reds in 1990. Leading lads: After being acquired in a throwaway trade on July 27, Marco Scutaro caught fire in San Francisco and is now a World Series hero after singling home Ryan Theriot with the go ahead run in the tenth inning. We haven't seen regular season Buster Posey very often in the postseason, but when we have it comes at the most opportune time for San Francisco. His two-run homer in the sixth inning was a stinging blow for Detroit, much like his grand slam in Game 5 of the NLDS was a dagger for the Cincinnati Reds.
