| | Baseball Giants' Renteria is World Series MVP ARLINGTON, Texas (UPI) -- San Francisco shortstop Edgar Renteria won the Most Valuable Player Award for the 2010 World Series Monday after leading the Giants to a 3-1 win in Game 5.
Renteria socked a three-run homer in the seventh inning, breaking up a pitchers' duel between Rangers starter Cliff Lee and the Giants' Tim Lincecum and handing the team its first world championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
Renteria, 34, a 15-year major league veteran, batted .411 (7-for-17) with two homers and six RBI in the Series, becoming the first Giants winner of the World Series MVP Award. The honor was first handed out in 1955 -- the year after the Giants franchise won its last title.
The Colombia native spent much of the 2010 season on the bench for the Giants but came alive in the post-season both at the plate and on the infield, where he provided a flawless defense.
He won a world championship with the Florida Marlins in 1997, driving in the series-winning run with a 10th-inning, Game 7 RBI single against Cleveland.

| | Hockey NHL: Vancouver 3, New Jersey 0 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (UPI) -- Henrik Sedin scored his first goal of the season and Roberto Luongo made 30 saves Monday in the Vancouver Canucks' 3-0 win over New Jersey.
Luongo jumped ahead of Dave Kerr, Curtis Joseph and Rogie Vachon to take the 20th spot on the NHL all-time list with 52nd career shutout.
Sedin scored on a penalty shot at 13:43 of the third period and the Canucks got goals from Raffi Torres and Ryan Kesler in their third straight win -- their fourth in six games.
Martin Brodeur stopped 20-of-23 shots the Devils, who have lost five of their last six games -- scoring just seven goals during that span.
New Jersey learned Monday that forward Zach Parise will undergo exploratory arthroscopic knee surgery -- and will miss an undetermined number of games.
