While the Tigers are trying to avoid one of the biggest collapses in MLB history at the big league level, Detroit has had a historically successful season in the minor leagues.

The Tigers easily had the best winning percentage across the minor leagues this year, posting a .589 winning percentage that was the fifth-best of the past 20 years.

Detroitâ€s farm teams have won championships in Low-A (Lakeland, Florida State League) and High-A (West Michigan, Midwest), while Double-A Erie will play for the Eastern League title tonight.

The Tigers†+650 run differential was also the seventh-best of the past 20 years. The Giants finished second in winning percentage and the Pirates were third. The Giants were also second in run differential ahead of the third-place Yankees.

At the other end of the standings, the Orioles had a .432 winning percentage. Baltimore also narrowly edged the Padres and Phillies for the worst run differential in the minor leagues.

With five Double-A and Triple-A titles still to be decided, the Tigers are the only MLB organization with multiple MiLB titles. The Mariners (Northwest), Mets (South Atlantic), Giants (California), Guardians (Carolina), Blue Jays (FCL), Angels (ACL) and Padres (DSL) have each won one title.
