1. 2014 – San Francisco won its third World Series in five years in 2014 after defeating the Kansas City Royals 4-3 in the best-of-seven series. Madison Bumgarner was named World Series and National League Championship Series MVP. He pitched 21 innings in the World Series and allowed only nine hits and one earned run.
2. 2012 – The Giants won its second World Series in three years by sweeping the Detroit Tigers 4-0. Game 4 went into extra innings but was won by San Francisco on a base hit to center field by Marco Scutaro at the top of the 10th inning. Pablo Sandoval was named World Series MVP.
3. 2010 – San Francisco outscored the Texas Rangers 29-10 in its five-game World Series victory in 2010. Tim Lincecum was the winning pitcher in the first and last game of the series, while Edgar Renteria was named World Series MVP after registering seven hits and two home runs in 17 at-bats.
