Juan Soto put on a laser show batting in front of Aaron Judge. Giancarlo Stanton legged out a double. DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo made solid contact and found holes.

A facsimile of the Yankees’ starting lineup — with the exception of Anthony Volpe, who had played a day earlier — took the stage and mashed eight runs in the first five innings of an eventual 9-8 win over the Braves.
Manager DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo said Sunday’s 1-through-8 “could be” the same when the regular season begins March 28 in Houston.
