The pesky St. Louis Cardinals -- the team that has pulled off more miracles than a super hero in a comic book -- finally went down in defeat.

So, San Francisco here we come.

The Giants downed the Cardinals 9-0 on Monday night, coming from behind in the series to win 4-3.

The first game of the World Series will be Wednesday at 8 p.m.

The Giants finished the regular season with a 94-68 record. The Tigers finished 88-74.
