Clayton Richard held the Diamondbacks to two runs in 8 2/3 innings in a victory Monday. Richard nearly notched his third career complete game, but manager Bud Black pulled him after a second Diamondback reached in the ninth. Richard is 4-1 with a 1.70 ERA in his last five starts. His only loss in that span came in a 1-0 game.
