DENVER —  Here are three takeaways from the Mets’ 5-2 road trip against the Dodgers and Rockies:

Francisco Lindor is on a mission, even with only nine functioning toes. It’s no secret that he wants to play every day, but he (again) took that to a new level during this road trip after breaking his right pinkie toe when he was hit by Tony Gonsolin’s 89-mph slider in the first inning of Wednesday’s 6-1 win over the Dodgers.

The shortstop played all nine innings on that broken toe, and when he got the diagnosis later that night, he petitioned manager Carlos Mendoza to be in the lineup the next day. Mendoza demurred, but two days later, he used Lindor as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of a tie game against the Rockies and Lindor delivered a tiebreaking two-out, two-run double. He’s been in the lineup ever since.

The toe will take about six weeks to fully heal, but Lindor is confident that he can continue to play through the pain.

“The foot is fine,” he said after the game Saturday, even as the appendage remained heavily bandaged. “The doctors, once again, did a fantastic job along with the trainers here. They prepped me. I trust the process and I just went out there and played my game.”

The kids are resilient. Despite losing Mark Vientos to a low-grade hamstring strain that will shut him down for about two weeks, the Mets’ youth movement continues to show signs of promise.

After more than a year out of baseball because of a torn ACL, Ronny Mauricio was called up. He struggled in his early at-bats, (very tellingly) adjusted and sent a loud message Saturday in the form of a 456-foot bomb to the third deck at Coors Field.

“I feel in the first couple of games, he was a little passive and they made him chase,” Mendoza said. “I feel like now, he’s ready to go with pitches in the strike zone . . . I’ve been saying it since he got here, we’ve got to be patient with him.”

Brett Baty also showed some grit. On Thursday, he committed a costly error during a rundown that keyed a disastrous eighth inning that cost the Mets a game against the Dodgers. Afterward, he took full accountability, calling it a “very, very dumb mistake” and a “terrible play.”

On Friday, he redeemed himself: The Mets and Rockies were tied when Ryne Stanek loaded the bases with none out, but Baty snagged a liner to third and was able to double off the lead runner to help the Mets get out of it unscathed in a game they eventually won, thanks to Lindor.

“That’s what we want,” Mendoza said. “That’s what we want to see out of all of our players.”

Pete Alonso is (very) locked in, and history awaits. He went 12-for-30 (.400) with five homers, two doubles and 15 RBIs on the seven-game road trip. On Sunday, he was 3-for-6 with three runs and four RBIs. With his two homers Sunday, he’s nine shy of Darryl Strawberry’s franchise record of 252. He also has an MLB-best 61 RBIs.

“Pete, since he got to the league, he’s very consistent,” Mendoza said. “It doesn’t matter how he’s doing . . . He wants to play. He wants to win and he knows what it takes physically and mentally – not only the skills that he has and just a mental grind.”
