Minneapolis ? The Minnesota Twins startled the New York Yankees in last year’s playoffs by going to the Bronx and taking the first game of their first-round series — before losing the final three.

Well, here comes Minnesota’s second chance.

Ben Broussard hit a two-run homer, lifting the Cleveland Indians to a 5-2 victory over the Twins on a strange Sunday afternoon that sent the AL Central champs to Yankee Stadium for the start of the postseason.

“It’s going to be a lot of pressure,” said Johan Santana, who will start Game 1 Tuesday night against Mike Mussina. “That’s the way this game is. That’s what we want. That’s what we’re ready for.”

Twenty minutes before the originally scheduled game began, Minnesota beat Cleveland, 6-5, in 12 innings to finish Saturday’s suspended game more than 26 hours after it started. Michael Cuddyer’s two-out double scored Jason Bartlett from first base to end it.

Minnesota (92-70), which won its third straight division title, could have started the postseason at home against the wild-card Boston Red Sox with a better finish. After clinching, the Twins went 4-8.

“A little disappointing here at the end, but I’m very proud of this baseball team,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Looking forward to the playoffs.”

The Indians (80-82), who came within a game of the Twins on Aug. 14 before fading, finished with their best record since 2001 and made a 12-game improvement over last year.
