i am pretty sure its when a reliever comes in and keeps the lead for the closer to finish the game.A hold is awarded to a relief pitcher if he enters in a save situation, records at least one out, and leaves the game without having relinquished that lead.
Generally, a save situation is when a pitcher enters the game with a lead of three runs or fewer and finishes the game without relinquishing the lead. Most of the time, the saving pitcher pitches one or more innings.
To receive a hold, the pitcher must not finish the game (thus becoming the closing pitcher) or be the winning pitcher. Therefore, the same pitcher can't get a save and a hold in the same game.
