000 cash deposit as part of the conditions of his bail, and that he will be out on bail until his appeal is heard.KANSAS CITY, Mo.

TORONTO -- Based on their scouting report, Tampa Bays hitters had a good idea how Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ was going to try and beat them.He went out and beat the Rays anyway.Happ and three relievers combined on a four-hitter as Happ became the first 16-game winner in the majors, and the Blue Jays blanked Tampa Bay 7-0 on Wednesday night.Toronto took over first place in the AL East when the Orioles lost 1-0 to Oakland later Wednesday.Troy Tulowitzki homered and had a season-high five RBI and Justin Smoak also connected for the Blue Jays, whose 162 homers this season are second only to Baltimore. The Orioles entered play Wednesday with 170.Rays manager Kevin Cash said Happ lived up to a scouting report that suggested they would see plenty of fastballs, especially four-seamers.We knew we were going to get it, we just werent able to handle it, Cash said.Happ (16-3) allowed four hits, all singles, to win his 10th consecutive decision.Thats a team number right there, those wins, Happ said after passing Bostons Rick Porcello and Washingtons Stephen Strasburg for most in the majors. But it feels good to go out there and give us a chance to win consistently. Thats always been my goal.Toronto has won Happs past 11 outings and is 18-5 when he starts.We knew he was a good pitcher and were glad to have him back, manager John Gibbons said.Rays infielder Brad Miller played behind Happ when both were with Seattle last season. Miller struck out twice in three at-bats Wednesday.Obviously today it was tough battling in there against him, Miller said. Thats what I liked when I was on his team was his competitive fire and his conviction.Joe Biagini, Jason Grilli and Ryan Tepera worked one inning each to complete Torontos seventh shutout.Tulowitzki hit a two-out, three-run homer off Rays rookie Blake Snell in the first inning, his 19th. The drive snapped a streak of 17 straight solo home runs by Toronto, which hadnt gone deep with a man on base since Josh Donaldsons two-run homer in the first inning of a July 20 win at Arizona.All three runs were unearned after Rays right fielder Steven Souza Jr. was charged with an error when he dropped Donaldsons foul fly ball.I had to run a long way but that ball has got to be caught, Souza said.Snell ran into trouble again in the second and could not finish the inning. After Devon Travis hit an RBI single, Donaldson reached on a fielders choice and went to second on a balk. Snell walked Edwin Encarnacion and Russell Martin to load the bases for Tulowitzki, who walked on a full-count pitch to bring home another run. Dylan Floro came on and retired Melvin Upton Jr. to end the rally.Snell (3-5) worked a career-low 1 2/3 innings and matched a career-worst by allowing five runs, two earned, and five hits. He threw 68 pitches, 37 strikes.Thats the first time weve really seen him struggle, Cash said. It wasnt for lack of stuff, he had the stuff going. It was lack of command and location with his pitches.Before the game, the Blue Jays placed slugger Jose Bautista on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained left knee. Bautista stumbled and fell while making a throw in the third inning Tuesday.STOLEN MOMENTSUpton stole three bases, the most by a Blue Jay since Jose Reyes stole three against Kansas City on July 11, 2015.TRAINERS ROOMRays: SS Matt Duffy (left Achilles) went 0 for 4 in a rehab game at Triple-A Durham.
