Thanks to another exquisite performance from Jacob deGrom and a big hit by newcomer Juan Uribe, the New York Mets did more than just stop Zack Greinke’s streak.

Greinke’s shutout string ended at 45 2/3 innings when the Mets scored the first of two scratch runs against him, and New York defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 Sunday on Uribe’s game-winning single off the wall in the 10th.

“How it didn’t get out, I have no idea. That ball was mashed,” New York manager Terry Collins said. “That’s why we got him. Those are the things he’s going to bring to this team.”

The hard-throwing deGrom outpitched Greinke in a marquee matchup that lived up to its billing, but Yasmani Grandal hit a tying single in the ninth as Los Angeles erased a two-run deficit against closer Jeurys Familia, who was trying for a four-out save.

Greinke allowed a run in the third on an RBI grounder by deGrom and another in the sixth when rookie Michael Conforto was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The right-hander’s scoreless streak was the longest in the majors since Orel Hershiser set the big league record with 59 for the Dodgers in 1988.

“I think everyone appreciates that. Maybe it will get broken. Five years ago or so, I thought that one and (Joe) DiMaggio’s (56-game hitting) streak were the two toughest. But it looks like people are getting closer to the Hershiser one now. So maybe eventually it might happen,”
