Case in point yesterday. Hughes comes in to pitch the 8th with a 6-2 lead. He goes strong.

Bruney comes in to the 9th with the same 6-2 lead. Strikes out 2 and then gives up 2 one run HRs. Score is 6-4. Big Mo comes in and gets last out and the save. Hughes gets the hold. Why exactly is that? I've seen guys give up runs and not leads before and get credited with holds. Why is Bruney overlooked for the stat and Hughes isn't? I don't understand Holds.

Responses:

Hughes came in when it was 5-2, so it was a save situation. Bruney came in with it 6-2, so it's not a save situation. - musubi Jul 23, 14:21 1
- Oh - I had that score wrong. Okay, that helps. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 14:25
Cuz Hughes didn't put them in a position to lose when there was a save situation forming. - Will Hunting Jul 23, 14:17 3

- Does that mean that if Bruney hadn't given up the HRs and the score remained 6-2, no one would have been credited a Hold? -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 14:18 1
  - I think so, and rivera wouldn't have gotten a save. - Will Hunting Jul 23, 14:20
