MIAMI — On this night he slept with de Fishes.

In an embarrassing performance, Jacob deGrom got flattened by the worst team in the major leagues Friday, sounding an even louder alarm in this stretch of underwhelming baseball by the Mets.

The reigning NL Cy Young award winner, in his ugliest performance of 2019, got knocked out after five brutal innings in the Mets’ third straight loss, 8-6 to the Marlins.

The Mets fell three games below .500 and are 3-3 in this stretch against teams with losing records.
