Yes the team winning at the time wins the game.

--------------------------

The above answer is not completely correct.

According to the Official Baseball Rules, 4.11(d):

"If the game is called while an inning is in progress and before it is completed, the game becomes a SUSPENDED game if (1) the visiting team has scored one or more runs to tie the score and the home team has not scored; or (2) the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead and the home team has not tied the score or retaken the lead."

So, if the visiting team scores in the top of the 6th inning to either tie or go ahead, the home team still gets a chance to tie or take the lead in the bottom of the 6th. If the game is called due to rain, it would become a suspended game, and it would be resumed at the same point where it was suspended.

But if the visiting did not score in the top of the 6th, and the home team ia ahead when the game is called, the game would be over, and the home team wins.
