MINNEAPOLIS — After losing 103 games last season, the most in the franchise’s 57 years in Minnesota, the Twins have reached the final stretch with a spot in the playoffs in plain sight. That’s almost as remarkable as, well, a 44-year-old starting pitcher helping lead the push. Yes, Bartolo Colon has managed to top himself once again. “I stopped being surprised about 10 years ago,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. In eight starts since the Twins made this here-goes-nothing acquisition in July, Colon has logged 49 innings with a 4.04 ERA for a rotation that has used 16 pitchers this season to cover the five spots.
