Major League Baseball will look to Big Tech companies like Apple and Google to help with its shortened season that is scheduled to resume on July 23. Google will provide cloud computing services that the MLB can use to track stats and shorten the time umpires need to review a contested play. Sony will offer artificial crowd noise that can be picked up by broadcasts, since all teams will play in empty stadiums.
