Game 1 Final

Detroit 3

San Francisco << 8

Pablo Sandoval tied a World Series record by socking three home runs as the San Francisco Giants gained the upper hand in the 2012 Fall Classic with a convincing win over the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 from AT&T Park. Sandoval delivered a solo homer off Justin Verlander in the bottom of the first inning, a two-run blast against the Detroit ace in the third, and connected off reliever Al Alburquerque in the fifth to become only the third player in World Series history to go deep three times in a single game.
