The San Francisco Giants took Game 1 in historic fashion Wednesday night, with Pablo Sandoval becoming just the fourth player ever to hit three home runs in a single World Series game.

We knew we were watching something incredibly special and unlikely in Game 1, when Sandoval hit three home runs against the Tigers. But it's hard to overstate just how unlikely it was.

Tigers fans worst nightmares came true Wednesday night, as Barry Zito out-dueled Justin Verlander and Pablo Sandoval launched three home runs to lead the Giants to an 8-3 victory in Game 1 of the World Series.

Pablo Sandoval makes history by getting a hit in his first four World Series plate appearances and hitting three home runs in a game.

The San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers meet for Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday at 8 p.m. on FOX.

In Game 1 of the World Series, Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs and Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum combined for eight tough innings as the Giants topped Justin Verlander and the Tigers, 8-3.
