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

But the short outing mattered little to Urias.

"I'm not going to lie. When I went out there, I started thinking of everything I had to go through to get here," he said, speaking through a translator after the Dodgers' 6-5 loss.

"I will never forget everything that happened in this game because this is the happiest day of my life."
