Any game lasting longer than 4 innings is considered a full game if the game has to be called due to rain or darkness or any other reason.
seven innings
There are nine innings in a major league baseball game. If the score is tied after nine innings, the game goes into extra innings and continues until one team or the other is ahead after a complete inning. Games can be called anytime on account of rain, darkness, earthquakes, etc. and can be considered complete or continued at a later date depending on the number of innings completed. A complete game requires at least five innings of play so that the losing team has five at-bats.

It would be postponed. Only counts if 5 innings complete are played.
When a pitcher throws hitless baseball for five innings, and the game becomes official because of rain, darkness or some other act of God. Several years ago, Major League Baseball erased several shortened no-hit games from the record books.
