The Giants finished the regular season at to win the National League West title before defeating the Cincinnati Reds in the National League Division Series in five games, losing the first two at home but winning the last three on the road, the first major league team ever to do so. They then came back from a deficit to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals, the defending World Series champions, in the National League Championship Series, thus winning all six games facing elimination in consecutive postseason series, another first.
This was the Giants' 22nd NL pennant, and their second World Series appearance in three years since , when they defeated the Texas Rangers in five games.

Louis Cardinals four games to one. The Giants jumped to a lead in the fifth inning en route to a victory in Game 1, on the strength of Pablo Sandoval's 4-for-4 with 4 RBI, on three home runs his first three times up and a final single. Sandoval was the first player to hit three homers in Game 1 of the Series, and the only one to homer in his first three plate appearances. Tigers ace Justin Verlander lasted only four innings, giving up five Giant runs, including Sandoval's first two homers.
Jhonny Peralta hit the Tigers' only home run, for two meaningless runs in the ninth with the game out of reach. The Giants went ahead in the series after winning Game 2. The Tigers' best chance to score occurred in top of the second. With Prince Fielder on first, slugger Delmon Young lined a double into the left field corner. Fielder was sent home on a gamble by third base coach Gene Lamont, but was tagged out on a close play at the plate by catcher Buster Posey after two perfect relay throws from left fielder Gregor Blanco and, moving to the left side of the diamond to serve as the backup cutoff man after Blanco had overthrown shortstop Brandon Crawford as the intended lead cutoff man, second baseman Marco Scutaro.
