1962 Braves hurler Warren Spahn, en route to a complete-game victory, homers off Mets right-hander Craig Anderson to set the National League record for round-trippers by a pitcher. The southpaw's 31st career home run helps extend New York's losing streak to 11 with a 6-1 victory at Milwaukee's County Stadium.

2012 Matt Harvey sets a Mets record for strikeouts in a major league debut previously shared by Tom Seaver (1967) and Bill Denehy (1967) with eight when he fans 11 batters in the team's 3-1 victory over Arizona at Chase Field. In his 5.1 innings on the mound, the 23-year-old rookie right-hander from New London (CT) gives up three hits while collecting a single and a double in the batter's box.
