NEW YORK — The first teenage starter in 11 years failed to get through three innings Friday, when Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Julio Urias departed after 2 2/3 innings against the New York Mets.

A fill-in starter for Alex Wood, who is dealing with minor triceps soreness, the 19-year-old Urias brought a 27-inning scoreless streak at Triple-A into the outing. It did not continue; Urias gave up three runs in the first inning of the Dodgers’ 6-5 loss.

Neil Walker delivered the first run off the left-hander with an RBI single, and Juan Lagares followed with a two-run double. Both RBI hits came with two outs.

Urias walked one batter in a scoreless second inning, before walking two more and loading the bases in the third. He was replaced by right-hander Chris Hatcher, who got out of the jam with a strikeout of opposing pitcher Jacob deGrom.
