Trent Merrin has declared James Tamous shock axing from the Australian team a win for Penrith.Merrin is attempting to re-establish himself as a representative regular during Australias Four Nations campaign.But Tamous future on the scene is up in the air after he was overlooked for coach Mal Meningas 24-man squad.North Queensland premiership winner Tamou will join Merrin at the Panthers next year on a four-year deal.And Merrin believes his omission from the Kangaroos squad after playing in the mid-year Test in Newcastle, will provide Tamou with plenty of motivation.I know as well as anyone what it is like to miss out on something. I know Jimmy will take this personally and it will fuel him up for next year, Merrin said.I know him well and this will really hurt him. He loves testing himself, proving himself and he will definitely be up for next year.It is going to be great for the Panthers that Jimmy will have that motivation.He will definitely be putting himself back in the position for rep selection next year. That is a great thing for the club.Tamou was passed over when Meningas squad was initially named earlier this month, with Canberra prop Shannon Boyd the bolter.The 27-year-old Tamou couldnt even get a look in when Josh Papalii was ruled out with an ankle injury and Jake Trbojevic was called up.Merrin missed out on NSW selection this year after joining the Panthers from St George Illawarra.He was a key figure in their charge to the semi-finals.Tamous addition to Penriths already big pack ensure it will be one of the best in the NRL in 2017.I am really excited about Jimmy coming over. He is a tough man and he plays the game tough, Merrin said.The best thing about it is he has played at the highest level in the game for a long time now and he is going to bring that over to the boys.He will be a mature head around the place. He is part of the culture that we are looking for in the future.Merrin recently re-signed with Penrith alongside Tyrone Peachey, Matt Moylan and Bryce Cartright to ensure the Panthers have a talent-filled roster next year.It is a fantastic culture that we are building at the club, Merrin said.We all took a lot of confidence out of this year.It is great to have the same playing group together for the next few yearsThere are great things to come.

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 Soouza Jr.dddddddddddd 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. Duffy is expected to make his Rays debut Friday. INF Richie Shaffer was optioned to Durham following Wednesdays game to clear a spot for Duffy.Blue Jays: OF Junior Lake was selected from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Bautista.UP NEXTRays: Tampa Bay is off Thursday before opening a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday. RHP Chris Archer (6-15, 4.26) starts against LHP CC Sabathia (6-9, 4.18). Archer is 5-3 with a 2.13 ERA in 11 career starts against New York.Blue Jays: After a day off Thursday, Toronto begins a three-game series against Houston on Friday. LHP Francisco Liriano (6-11, 5.34) makes his second start for Toronto. He will face RHP Joe Musgrove (0-0, 0.79). ' ' '
