MIAMI — Some of the 2024 swagger returned to the Mets on Wednesday.

Four outs stood between manager Carlos Mendoza’s crew and an embarrassing series loss to the Marlins when Pete Alonso decided to awaken the masses.

Alonso blasted a tying three-run homer, the bullpen escaped persistent threats and the Mets pushed across two runs in the 11th inning for a 6-5 victory at loanDepot park.

The Mets won the series rubber game and completed a 3-3 road trip.

It sure felt like last season, when the “OMG” Mets often recovered in the late innings for a victory following a sluggish start.

“There’s a lot of guys here from last year and we know how to do that,” Alonso said. “This is a talented bunch. We never think we’re out of any game. That’s just a testament to every single one of these guys.”

Jesse Winker drew a bases-loaded walk in the 11th before the Mets added insurance when shortstop Xavier Edwards couldn’t handle Mark Vientos’ grounder.

Danny Young surrendered a run in the bottom of the frame before Huascar Brazobán entered to record the final two outs, with the potential tying and winning runs on base.

“Crazy game,” Mendoza said. “We didn’t play well early. I am just glad we found a way to get the job done and won the series and now we get to go home and play in front of our fans.”

The Mets were sinking toward the bottom of Biscayne Bay as Tyrone Taylor was retired to begin the eighth.

To that point the Mets had managed only four hits and trailed 4-1.

But pinch hitter Luis Torrens and then Francisco Lindor each singled before Alonso — who smashed a grand slam in Monday’s victory and drove in the Mets’ first run Wednesday with a double — extended his at-bat to nine pitches and crushed a 96-mph fastball for a homer to center field against Calvin Faucher.

“I was fighting off some really tough pitches there,” Alonso said. “[Faucher] came at me with his best stuff and he located some good ones, especially early in the count, but I was able to just stay in control and let the ball show up where I wanted it to.”

With it 4-4, the Marlins threatened against Edwin Díaz in the eighth.

Edwards appeared to score the go-ahead run, sprinting home from third on Griffin Conine’s grounder to Brett Baty with a drawn-in infield.

Edwards was called safe on the dive into the plate, but the call was overturned on replay. Torrens, who applied the tag, punctuated the inning by throwing out Conine attempting to steal second.

“It was just two teams going at it and it tested the depth of both teams,” Clay Holmes said. “Those are the games you have to win. Sometimes they are not always the perfect game, the cleanest game, but it’s a matter of who can come out and grind the longest and find a way to win those games.”

Holmes had a second straight start in which he failed to pitch five innings, but defensive letdowns didn’t help his cause.

Overall, the right-hander lasted 4 ²/₃ innings and allowed two runs, one unearned, on six hits with six strikeouts and two walks.

Defensive lapses led to the Mets falling into a 2-1 hole in the third inning.

Taylor got a bad read on Conine’s fly ball to center, and the ball fell for a single to load the bases.

After Matt Mervis hit a sacrifice fly, Vientos fielded Otto Lopez’s grounder and threw it away on a play at the plate that should have been the second out.

But with runners on first and second, Holmes struck out Graham Pauley and Liam Hicks in succession to avoid further damage. Of the two runs the Marlins scored in the inning, only one was earned.

“We didn’t make a couple of plays and that elevated his pitch count,” Mendoza said.

The Marlins extended their lead to 4-1 in the seventh with two runs against A.J. Minter.

After Conine doubled leading off, Minter fell down on the mound during his delivery — he never released the ball — for a balk.

Vientos fielded Lopez’s ensuing slow grounder, looked to the plate and decided there was no play before firing late to first base.

Hicks’ RBI single with two outs widened the Mets’ deficit to three runs.
