After the game, Maddux kept the celebration low key.  Hoffman gave him the ball, even though Trevor usually keeps his them as a memento of his saves:

Maddux called it a "cool" gesture, then explained that the best part for him is handing the ball to a loved one. "I'll give it to my kid, let him go play with it," Maddux said.

He had praise his catcher, making his major league debut:

He seemed especially happy for catcher Luke Carlin, who was making his major league debut and caught a future Hall of Famer in Maddux and a probable Hall of Famer in Hoffman.

"He gave a real good target," Maddux said. "He looked like he actually had fun."
Carlin was still grinning well after the game.

"It was kind of like all of my dreams came true at once," said the 27-year-old, who was drafted by the Tigers in 2002 and played six-plus seasons in the minors.

"It was a privilege, an honor. I'm pretty much speechless. How could anybody envision this?"

Maddux did not walk a batter last night.  In his career, he's walked less than one batter per nine innings against the Rockies, his lowest number against a team he's faced for at least 50 innings.

Congratulations to a great pitcher reaching a lofty milestone!
