Luis Guillorme went to the plate in the 10th inning Sunday planning to bunt, but failed on that front.

For that failure he was accosted by a mob of teammates near second base.

That gathering was a celebration.

Guillorme, after two unsuccessful bunt attempts, delivered an RBI double that allowed the Mets to escape getting swept by the Dodgers with a 2-1 victory at Citi Field.

The Mets snapped a four-game losing streak that began in San Diego the previous weekend.

“All I was trying to do was get a ground ball to the right side and it worked out,” said Guillorme, who hit a chopper past first base against Nick Robertson to bring in automatic runner Brett Baty.

After getting shut out and then scoring once in losing to the Dodgers twice to open the second half, the Mets (43-50) got two runs on Sunday.

Maybe they can get to three when they open a series against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Salvaging Sunday wouldn’t have been possible without Max Scherzer’s brilliance.

The right-hander pitched seven shutout innings — perhaps enhancing his potential trade value heading to the Aug. 1 deadline — and allowed only one hit.

David Robertson pitched two scoreless innings after Trevor Gott allowed a game-tying RBI single to Mookie Betts in the eighth.

“In the first couple of innings I was still hanging sliders and it was driving me nuts,” said Scherzer, who has struggled with that pitch in spurts this season.

But in the middle innings, with his cleats heavy with mud, Scherzer realized he wasn’t lifting his front foot as high as he needed. Scherzer cleaned out his cleats and started getting the results he wanted from his slider.

“Boom, that’s all it was and then my slider started getting down in the zone,” Scherzer said. “That was the fix. It was that simple, that stupid.”

With heavy rain in the forecast, the Mets proactively moved their scheduled 1:40 p.m. first pitch to late afternoon. That decision was reached Sunday morning. Ultimately, the game began at 5:30 — about 20 minutes later than planned.

Chris Taylor’s pinch-hit double against Robertson in the ninth gave the Dodgers life with two outs.

But Robertson, the Mets’ bullpen MVP this season, struck out James Outman.

Robertson returned for the 10th inning and retired all three batters he faced to keep the automatic runner stranded at third base.

“I skated through today by the skin of my teeth,” Robertson said, noting a well-struck ball by Betts that was caught for the final out in the 10th inning.

Scherzer struck out six and walked three in his seventh career start of at least seven innings with one hit or less allowed.

Jason Heyward’s ground-ball single past third base in the second inning accounted for the Dodgers’ only hit against the right-hander, who enjoyed the rebound performance after allowing two homers to Manny Machado that sunk the Mets in the last game before the All-Star break.

Scherzer needed only 33 pitches to roll through the first three innings unscathed, but encountered trouble in the fourth when he walked Betts and Freddie Freeman to begin the inning.

Scherzer rallied to strike out Max Muncy and retired J.D. Martinez and David Peralta in order, throwing 27 pitches in the inning, to keep the game scoreless.

Brandon Nimmo’s comebacker off Bobby Miller’s glove in the fifth went for an RBI fielder’s choice that gave the Mets a 1-0 lead.

Starling Marte, who was unavailable the previous night because of a migraine, singled and stole second in the inning before Mark Canha was hit by a pitch with one out.

Omar Narvaez walked to load the bases and Nimmo’s chopper (that likely would have been a force play at the plate if fielded properly) brought in Marte. Miller retired Nimmo at first base on the play.

Scherzer worked a perfect sixth, concluding the inning at 90 pitches — which allowed him to continue into the seventh. Scherzer again retired the side in order.

“We hope it’s the starting point of consistent good baseball and it starts with pitching,” manager Buck Showalter said. “We have gotten some quality innings, especially out of our starters here. Max was the difference in the game today.”
