Sandoval Slams 3 HRs as Giants Win Game 1

Pablo Sandoval made this one easy for the San Francisco Giants. He hit three home runs in his first three at-bats as the Giants cruised to an 8-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game One of the World Series tonight. Sandoval is just the fourth player in history to homer three times in a championship game—Albert Pujols last year, and gents by the name of Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth before that. He added a single later to go 4-for-4. Bleacher Report has more on his feat, and it notes that Sandoval had just 12 homers in the regular season. (More World Series stories.)
