PHILADELPHIA — The last time bad blood simmered between the Phillies and Mets, they ended the April series tied atop the NL East.

With both teams scuffling in their first series since then, Wilmer Font’s fastball up and in to Scott Kingery in the sixth inning of a two-run game Tuesday night didn’t set off the same kind of fireworks.

Both benches were immediately warned after the plunking, and Gabe Kapler was quickly ejected for wanting to discuss it with home-plate ump Joe West, but tempers remained in check during the Phillies’ 7-5 win over the Mets at Citizens Bank Park.

“It’s not that we didn’t remember everything that happened, but given that it was a pretty tight game, it was a bit of a back-and-forth game, it didn’t seem like there was going to be any sort of friction in that way,” Kapler said. “Both clubs were trying to win the game. That ball was clearly lost control of. I don’t know what the intent was.”

Font had just served up back-to-back home runs to blow the Mets’ lead and had a 1-1 count on Kingery. Wilson Ramos was set up inside behind the plate and Font uncorked a 94 mph fastball that sailed toward Kingery’s head before he got his left shoulder up to take the plunking.

Font said he was trying to throw inside but the pitch got away from him. Kingery said he didn’t know if it was intentional, though April’s events did come to mind after he got hit.

“I get there was two home runs right before, but he was up in the zone kind of the whole inning,” Kingery said. “Maybe he just let one go, I’m not really sure.”

Back in April, things had gotten heated between the teams during a series at Citi Field. It started when reliever Jacob Rhame threw a 97 mph fastball behind Rhys Hoskins during the ninth inning of a game the Mets were winning 9-0. The dugouts cleared and both sides were issued warnings, though there were never any punches thrown.

The next night, Hoskins crushed a home run in the ninth inning and took his sweet time getting around the bases, completing the trip in 34.23 seconds — the slowest of the Statcast era (since 2015).

This was the teams’ first series since then. There was no hint of any carryover Monday, though both teams entered with some desperation — the Phillies having lost seven straight and the Mets teetering while coming off Sunday’s fiasco in Chicago.

“In my mind, it wasn’t [intentional],” Kapler said. “It doesn’t mean I like our guys getting hit any less. It’s always going to be upsetting.”
