    Latin teammates of Boston Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia have no issue with the statement he made about New York Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli following Tuesday night's game.

    When asked for his thoughts about Cervelli's celebratory clap at home plate after he hit only his second home run of the season, Saltalamacchia raised a few eyebrows with his comment.

    "The game is changing," Saltalamacchia said Tuesday. "Younger guys are coming in, (Rangers shortstop) Elvis Andrus and (Blue Jays shortstop Yunel) Escobar, a lot of Latin players and that's the way they play the game. It's OK to an extent, but if you go further than that, than that's when you've got to kind of step back."
