Aaron Thompson pitched a perfect seventh inning, striking out one Thursday in a 6-5 win over the A's to record his fifth hold of the year.

Thompson has been a nice source of holds recently with three in the last week, but he can be inconsistent and should be avoided in all but the deepest of AL-only leagues where holds count.

Aaron Thompson notched his second hold of the season in the Twins loss against the Royals Tuesday night. He got two outs while not allowing a hit and walking one.

While the Twins lost the game, Thompson was able to get the hold before they lost the lead. He is valuable only in deep AL-only leagues.
