PHOENIX -- Some extra rest seemed to be just what Josh Collmenter needed. Collmenter came two outs away from a complete game, holding the San Diego Padres without an earned run on four hits over 8 1-3 innings in the Diamondbacks 5-1 win Friday night. Collmenter (9-7) also tied his career high for strikeouts with eight and did not walk a batter. The Diamondbacks victory ended a six-game losing streak. "Give the arm a little break and weve been going at it quite a while now," Collmenter said. "It was just good to rest and be 100 per cent going into (Friday)." Arizona manager Kirk Gibson had Collmenter, who started the season as a reliever, skip his between-starts bullpen session and only play catch. "His arm had much more life to it. Think he had only one three-ball count the whole game," Gibson said. "Just wanted to get him through this game. Really didnt even want to put him out there in the ninth inning but he obviously had a shutout going. I went as far as I was comfortable going with him." Arizona scored three first-inning runs - two on a Miguel Montero home run -- and added another in the second inning on a two-out error by Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko, one of two errors for him. Monteros two-out blast hit the right field fair pole on a line. Two batters earlier, David Peralta tripled and Mark Trumbo drove him in with ground ball deep in the hole at shortstop for an infield hit. "I was lucky enough to keep it fair," Montero said. Odrisamer Despaigne (3-5) settled down after a rough start, but took the loss after going five innings and allowing three earned runs on five hits. "The story was their guy. We couldnt solve him. He pitched a good game and we couldnt square any balls up," Padres manager Bud Black said. The Padres put runners on first and second in the ninth inning against Collmenter, and Matt Stites got the final two outs but a passed ball allowed Alexi Amarista to score from third base and break up the shutout. D-BACKS D UP Diamondbacks centre fielder Ender Inciarte recorded five straight outs on fly balls between the second and third innings, including a diving catch to take a hit away from Despaigne. Peralta ended the third throwing out Amarista from right field trying to go from first to third base on a base hit from Yangervis Solarte. Shortstop DiDi Gregorius got to a ground ball with a backhand stop and threw out Gyorko in the seventh, his momentum carrying him toward third base as he made the throw. "I dont know that Ive ever seen that," Gibson said of the Gregorius play. "The way he threw it. I thought maybe hed one-hop it and he just threw a bullet over there." VENABLE LOSES A HIT A scoring change from Aug. 12 took a hit away from Padres outfielder Will Venable. Major League Baseball on Friday announced that an eighth-inning infield hit originally scored a single against Colorado that day was changed to an error on Rockies shortstop Josh Rutledge. The two runs in the inning became unearned. Venable was hitless in three at-bats Friday and has 74 hits on the season.

In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga, Ontario. Watch the 2014 NBA Draft on TSN, Thursday at 7pm et/4pm pt. Name: Nik Stauskas From: Mississauga, Ontario Played: University of Michigan Height: 66 Weight: 207 Position: Shooting Guard 2013-2014 Stats: 17.5 points, .442 3P%, 3.3 assists Breakout Game: 26 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds in win vs. Iowa Jan 22nd. Accolades: 2013 - 14 Big 10 Player of the Year, Second team All-American Draft Projection: Middle of first round Comparable NBA player: Tim Hardaway, Jr. Nik Stauskas has become the poster boy for “hard work pays off.” After a solid freshman season, helping the Wolverines to compete in the NCAA championship game, two key teammates in Trey Burke (Naismith Player of the Year) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (NBA All-Rookie First Team) moved on to the pros. In only his sophomore year, Stauskas was expected to be a team leader, so he spent his summer adding muscle mass, working on his lateral quickness and creating his own shot off the dribble. Stauskass YouTube videos offer a glimpse into his incredible work ethic and the results of his second year were apparent;; a Big 10 title and trip to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament for the Wolverines, while leading the team in scoring and assists and named Big 10 Player of the Year.dddddddddddd Stauskass greatest skill is his ability to flat-out shoot the ball. Unquestionably the best shooter in the draft with a quick release, Stauskas has little issue getting his shot off. His playmaking has improved and he can facilitate for others off of the pick-and-roll, forcing defenders to play him honestly. His quickness allows him to beat slower defenders off the dribble, rounding out his offensive game to be more than simply a spot-up shooter. On the defensive end, Stauskas needs some work, particularly with strength and quickness defending at the next level. Not a surprising drawback to elite shooters, but not one that cant be compensated for in team defences. Stauskas refuses to back down and that refusal to lose is one of those intangibles sought in any NBA prospect. When told that he would only be a shooter, Stauskas rounded out his game. When told that he couldnt carry a team, he led them deep into the NCAA Tournament. Steps to improve his defensive game are already underway, as any obstacle that is put in front of Stauskas has been overcome. His drive, coupled with his confidence, make it difficult to overlook a player with the aptitude and skills he possesses. Stauskas will continue to work and hone his game as he continues to prove that hard work pays off. ' ' '
