PORTLAND, Maine - Right-hander R.J. Gordon dominated for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies (31-16, 76-38), as they beat the Portland Sea Dogs, 4-1, at Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field on Wednesday.

Gordon (4-0) earned the win and spun seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, while only allowing two hits and two walks. Gordon threw 6.1 no-hit innings, before allowing a single to center fielder Allan Castro with one out in the seventh inning. After issuing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first, Gordon retired 14-straight hitters and faced the minimum over five innings.

Gordon threw seven innings for the third time in six starts at the Double-A level. Gordon is Binghamton's only pitcher that has tossed at least seven innings in multiple starts this season.

Portland (21-25, 55-58) right-hander John Holobetz dueled with Gordon, before the Ponies got to him in the seventh inning. Holobetz finished with four strikeouts in seven innings of one-run ball.

In the seventh inning with one out, designated hitter Jacob Reimer belted a solo home run to left-center field that broke the scoreless tie. It marked Reimer's seventh home run at the Double-A level and his third long ball over his last seven games.

Binghamton scored three runs in the top of the eighth and took a 4-0 lead against right-hander Zach Bryant. The frame was highlighted by left fielder AJ Ewing's RBI double, center fielder Nick Morabito's RBI single, and Reimer's RBI hit by pitch. Ewing went 2-for-4 with two doubles and recorded his third multi-hit game at the Double-A level.

Right-hander Joshua Cornielly pitched a scoreless eighth inning.
