San Francisco, CA, United States (AHN) – The World Series recovered from Sunday night’s TV ratings dip, registering a 10.6 overnight rating to topple ESPN’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.

FOX Spokesman Dan Bell reported Tuesday the World Series finale between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers received a rating 23 percent higher than the Colts’ 30-17 demolition over the Texans Monday night.

The Giants-Rangers World Series matchup failed to draw significant TV followers over the weekend, bowing to Sunday night’s football showdown between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers by 13 percent in 56 markets.

Nevertheless, the Giants’ 3-1 World Series-clinching victory over the Rangers was a TV hit Monday night, as it posted a 10.6 overnight rating against the 8.6 household rating received by the NFL.

The World Series, and generally, the MLB postseason had disappointing TV ratings due to lack of star power and absence of big baseball markets such as the St. Louis and Boston.

In fact, Game 5 of the World Series had 17 percent lower rating than last year’s Yankees-Philadelphia Phillies game 5 in 2009 and 5 percent below the Game 5 of Phillies-Tampa Bay Rays series in 2008.
