The Phoenix Mercury had one of its toughest losses this season against the Atlanta Dream, 96-72, on Friday evening. The game mirrored their loss against the Atlanta Fever on Wednesday, with the Mercury starting strong but unable to carry the same momentum into the rest of the game.

Suter, whose night was extended by the Reds’ rally, retired the Braves in order in the top of the ninth, and the hometown boy with a degree from Harvard was demonstrative in his celebration after sending the game to the bottom of the ninth inning.
