On Players’ Weekend, Jacob deGrom didn’t pick a nickname. He simply put “deGrom” on the back of his white jersey.

It was the Mets’ ace to a T — substance over style.

The defending Cy Young award winner then went out and was brilliant again, striking out 13, allowing four singles and homering for the second time this year as the Mets’ five-game winning streak was snapped with a 2-1, 14-innings loss to the Braves at Citi Field.

DeGrom received a no-decision, a common occurrence no matter how well he pitches. Without his big swing, the Mets would have lost in nine innings. Without him taming the potent Braves’ lineup, the game likely wouldn’t have been close.

The right-hander struck out eight consecutive Braves and whiffed the side in order in the fourth and fifth innings, mowing down the NL East leaders as if they were a last-place club.

“Throughout that ride I felt like I was able to locate whatever pitch I was throwing,” deGrom said. “Just seeing the swings I was getting on some pitches and sticking with them and mixing in the fastball to keep them off balance was key.”

In the process, he became the first pitcher since the current mound distance was established in 1893 to strike out 13 and hit a home run in the same game twice in one season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. On April 3 in Miami, deGrom struck out 14 and went deep in a 6-4 victory over the Marlins. He earned the win in that outing.

The performance continues a remarkable stretch of pitching from deGrom that has seen him lower his ERA to 2.56. He has not allowed more than three earned runs in a single start since May 17 against the Marlins, a stretch of 17 appearances.

DeGrom, who became the first National League pitcher to reach 200 strikeouts this season, allowed his lone run in the sixth on weak contact. With one out, Ozzie Albies singled softly to center field, snapping his streak of eight strikeouts in a row. After Albies stole second base, Freddie Freeman singled him in.

But the Braves’ lead didn’t last. DeGrom struck out the next two batters, then, on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the frame from Mike Foltynewicz, he went deep for the second time this year. DeGrom laced a 92-mph fastball over the fence in left-center field, pulling the Mets even at 1-1 with his third career long-tripper.

“That was satisfying,” deGrom said. “I came to the dugout, knew I was close to 100 pitches and Mickey [Callaway] asked if I was OK. I said I was good to go, and I went up there thinking, try to get something over the middle of the plate that I can hit. I was fortunate enough to hit it over the wall.”

He finished his evening with his fifth 1-2-3 inning, capping the night with his 13th strikeout, getting Alex Jackson to chase a 93-mph slider.

The night, however, ended poorly for the Mets. It wasn’t deGrom’s fault. It rarely is.
