Whether he's getting hit by a pitch or a wad of gum, the Cleveland Indians' Ryan Raburn certainly has the attention of his former Detroit teammates.

In the graphic, ex-Tiger Ryan Raburn is seemingly pelted with chewed gum that his former teammate, Miguel Cabrera, appeared to pull from his mouth. DETROIT -- There's not a name in baseball that can induce vitriolic rants from rabid Tigers fans quite like ex-Tiger, turned Cleveland Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn. (Aside from Brandon Inge, of course.) Always a man with more than his share of critics, Raburn was relentlessly booed by Tigers fans in every plate appearance this past weekend at Comerica Park. Those boos grew louder Saturday when Raburn, ...

Alvarez ended up pitching through the sixth inning, allowing three hits and just the one run. He also struck out seven hitters and earned his first major league win. So, how did he do it?
