TORTURE ENDS: GIANTS DEFEAT RANGERS 3-1 TO CAPTURE THEIR FIRST WORLD SERIES CROWN SINCE 1954

At Arlington, Texas:



Tim Lincecum pitched eight solid innings of three-hit, ten-strikeout baseball while Edgar Renteria (named Series MVP) belted a three-run home run with two out in the seventh inning as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Texas Rangers 3-1 Monday in game five of the World Series to win their first WS championship since 1954, taking the series four games to one.  It was the Giants' fourth World Series appearance since moving to San Francisco from New York in 1958 (1962, 1989, 2002).  Pictured here are happy Giants celebrating the team's World Series triumph.
