A quick browse through the last couple days' worth of MLB box scores yields:
TOR @ TB, Aug 17th
OAK @ KC, Aug 18th
NYY @ BOS, Aug 18th
PIT @ CIN, Aug 19th
STL @ CHC, Aug 19th
Anyway, you're misunderstanding the nature of holds. Relief appearances can become holds
because they're save opportunities.
