Jose Urena took the longest winning streak of his young career into Thursday’s start.
The Mets didn’t let him carry it any further.
For the second consecutive game, the Mets did enough damage early to secure victory as they picked up a 6-3 win at Marlins Park.
The Mets jumped out to a 5-0 lead by the third inning off Urena, who had his career-best five-game winning streak snapped as he suffered his first defeat since May 17. The Marlins (35-42) were 6-1 over Urena’s previous seven starts.
A night after Jeff Locke gave up three runs in the first inning, the Mets scored twice in the initial frame against Urena.
