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.

If a baseball game is stopped because of rain and one team is leading how would they start the rescheduled game?
If a game is past 5 innings it is considered an official game (or if the home team is winning and they are playing the bottom of the 5th, this would also be an official game) -- if a team is winning at that time they get the win and all stats are recorded. If the game is in the 5th (other then noted above) the game is started as a new game with no stats recorded. If the game is after the 5th inning and the game is tied, the game will pick up exactly where they left off with all stats official. In the event that this happens during the middle of an inning or even an at-bat, when play resumes the count will remain the same when the resume ** If the game is "official" and past 5 innings, It will revert back to the last inning completed, i.e if a game is "called" in the middle of the 7th (assuming they dont resume the game) the game will revert back to the end of the 6th and the team winning will have won the game
