New York Mets released Brandon Knight on July 26, 2009.

New York Mets released Miguel Batista on July 26, 2012.

National Pastime.com: 

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 hit by a pitcher. The southpaw's 31st career home run helps Milwaukee extend New York's losing streak to 11 with a 6-1 victory at County Stadium.
2012	Matt Harvey sets a Mets record for strikeouts in a major league debut previously established and shared by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy with nine 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 rookie right-hander gives up three hits, while collecting two hits in the batter's box.

Baseball Reference:

1964: The Braves sweep the Mets in a doubleheader at Shea Stadium, but Atlanta uses 11 pitchers to do it. The Mets also use 11 pitchers, a two-team record, as the Braves win, 11 - 7 and 15 - 10. Both wins go to Chi-Chi Olivo who toils just 2 2/3 innings.

1975 - Bill Madlock goes 6 for 6 during the Cubs' 10-inning, 9 - 8, loss to the Mets.

1978: Johnny Bench hits his 300th career home run, off Nino Espinosa, and Pete Rose hits in his 39th straight game, but the Reds bow to the Mets, 12 - 3.

2012: Matt Harvey strikes out 11 Diamondback hitters in his major league debut, beating the Mets franchise record of 9 held by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy; it is the most in a debut since Stephen Strasburg fanned 14 for the Nationals two years ago. Harvey allows no runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings, before leaving because of pitch count issues; for good measure, he also goes 2 for 2 at the plate, with a double off Wade Miley for his first major league hit. He gets credit for the Mets' 3 - 1 win at Chase Field.
