 After injuring his left Achilles tendon on April 9, Torres spent time on the disabled list from April 15 to May 10. On May 30, Torres hit his first career grand slam against Kyle McClellan in a 7 – 3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Three days later, he scored three runs in a 12 – 7 victory over St. Louis. On July 15, Torres had three hits, scored three runs, drove in two runs, stole a base, and slammed into the wall while making a nice catch to rob Kyle Phillips of a two-RBI double in a 6 – 1 victory over the San Diego Padres. He went on the disabled list a second time, from August 13 through August 28, with a bruised right leg. After Torres batted just .228 through the beginning of September, he lost quite a bit of playing time to Cody Ross and Justin Christian for the remainder of the year. In 112 games (348 at bats), Torres hit .221 with 77 hits, 24 doubles, four home runs, and 19 RBI. He led the Giants in stolen bases once again, with 19.
