JJ Bleday blasted a pair of homers, and Zack Gelof went 3-for-5, but that isn't why Monday's win in St. Louis was impressive.

JJ Bleday homered twice and Zack Gelof had a home run among his three hits as the Athletics snapped a three-game skid with an 11-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.

JJ Bleday hit two home runs, both on the first pitch of an at-bat from Sonny Gray, who allowed seven runs while his teammates struck out a dozen times.

The Golden State Valkyries capture their 21st win of the season, but the night's most significant moment was honoring a legendary figure.
