In MLB, the team that is losing must have five full innings of at bats for the game to be complete. If the home team is ahead, the game can be called in the bottom of the fifth inning and it would be considered complete since the visiting team, who is losing, has had five full innings of at bats. If the home team is losing, the game can be called in the top of the sixth inning and it would be considered complete since the home team has had five full innings of at bats.

∙ 14y agoThe number of innings doesn't matter if a game is rained out, the number of innings only determines whether a game is an official game or not. A game must have played at least 5 innings for it to count as an official game and if the home team is losing then they must have the chance to bat in the bottom of the 5th inning before it counts as an official game.

Not necessarily. A game is official after 5 1/2 innings if the home team is ahead, or six innings if the visiting team is leading. Should rain or other unforseen occurance happens that would force the game to be stopped, the game would be over at that time and be counted as an official game.
