The Mets expected Jacob deGrom on Saturday but somehow got saddled with Jake from State Farm.

DeGrom’s afternoon at RingCentral Coliseum started badly and improved enough to get him through four innings, but that was about it.

DeGrom allowed five earned runs on six hits and four walks over four innings to snap his MLB record streak of 40 straight starts in which he surrendered three earned runs or fewer, dating to 2019. The four walks matched his combined total in his previous nine starts this season. The Mets didn’t receive much support from the bullpen, with Trevor Williams, Joely Rodriguez, Adam Ottavino and Trevor May combining to surrender five runs over the final four innings.

Alonso’s two-run homer in the first inning gave the Mets a 3-0 lead following Francisco Lindor’s sacrifice fly. Lindor’s RBI was his 100th this season, marking the first time in his career he has reached that plateau. Alonso’s ensuing homer was his 38th of the year and gave him 123 RBIs this season, one short of the club record shared by Mike Piazza and David Wright. DeGrom loaded the bases in the first inning on a single and two walks before Dermis Garcia hit a drive to left field.
