"It means a lot to me and my family," Colon said. "At my age, to throw nine innings, it's impressive."
It was Colon's first win as a Twin, marking his 10th different organization that he has earned a victory with. Colon, who gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk, is now one club shy of matching the Major League record. Rick Reed (38 years, 271 days) was previously the oldest Minnesota pitcher to record a complete game in 2003.
