If it feels like a couple of months have passed since J.A. Happ lost a game, well, guess what.
Happ on Wednesday night was sharp yet again for the Blue Jays, throwing shutout ball through six innings and becoming the first 16-game winner in the majors this season as the Jays trounced the Tampa Bay Rays 7-0 at the Rogers Centre.
Toronto took a half game lead over the Baltimore Orioles for first place in the American League East (Orioles played last Wednesday) and took two of three against the Rays. The Jays have an off-day on Thursday before Francisco Liriano opens a three-game set versus visiting Houston on Friday night.
