Loux as in losing team

The Giants put on a pretty dismal show tonight in Anaheim, where the Angels whomped em 6-0. Henry Schulman notes in his game story that interleague play has been embarrassing for the Orange and Black. All true but I'm wondering why we're insisting on playing guys who have no business being at the MLB level such as Justin Christian (who made an easy out as a pinchitter) and Shane Loux. 

Schulman didn't mention it but Loux got smacked around in the 8th as the score went from 3-0 to 6-0 on back to back homers on 2 pitches, followed by two more hits -- including the first extrabase hit in something like 160 MLB at bats by Bobby Wilson.

Meanwhile Heath Hembree keeps blowing them away in the minors. There's no excuse for a team to have an MLB-caliber player in the minors.
