| abstract | - The 2012 World Series was the 108th edition of Major League Baseball's (MLB) championship series. The best-of-seven playoff was played during the 2012 MLB season between the National League champion San Francisco Giants, and the American League champion Detroit Tigers, with the Giants defeating the Tigers in four games to win their seventh World Series title. The Tigers became only the third team to be swept in the World Series after sweeping the League Championship Series (LCS), following the 1990 Oakland Athletics and the 2007 Colorado Rockies. The Giants' Pablo Sandoval, who in Game 1 tied a record for hitting three home runs in a World Series game, was named the World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP). As has been standard since 2003, home field advantage for the series was decided by the outcome of the All-Star Game. The 2012 All-Star Game, played on July 10 in Kansas City, Missouri, was won 8–0 by the National League. (The two teams were heavily involved in the outcome: of the eight runs, all but one were scored and/or driven in by a Giant, while the NL's five first-inning runs were given up by Tigers ace Justin Verlander.) The 2012 World Series began on Wednesday, October 24 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, and ended on Sunday, October 28 at Comerica Park in Detroit. This was the fourth World Series matchup since the MLB postseason expanded to three rounds that one team won its LCS in a sweep and the other was extended through a Game 7. The previous three occurrences saw the Game 7 pennant-winner prevail, in 1988, 2006 and 2007, and this trend continued with this series. It was the first World Series to include the batting champions from each league – Buster Posey of the Giants and Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers – since 1954, when the Giants' Willie Mays and Bobby Ávila of the Cleveland Indians met. The Giants became the first team since the 1966 Baltimore Orioles and the first NL team since the 1919 Cincinnati Reds to achieve consecutive shutouts in the World Series. Giants' pitching held the Tigers to a .159 batting average in the series, the lowest for a team since the Los Angeles Dodgers hit .142 against the Orioles in the 1966 World Series.
