Boston native Ayo Edebiri, who grew up in Dorchester, threw out the first ceremonial pitch ahead of the second game of the Red Sox-Yankees doubleheader Thursday night.
The comedian and actress, known for starring in the television series “The Bear” and the recently released film “Bottoms,” as well as a number of other recent successful projects, wrote on Instagram that she was initially supposed to be part of Wednesday night’s ceremony, but the game was postponed to Thursday afternoon due to rain.
The Red Sox, despite winning 5-0 in the makeup game against the Yankees that afternoon, lost 8-5 to New York that night.
