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.
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.

A legal game The seventh inning is the final inning of a complete game given that one team is ahead at the end of the inning. A legal game is 4 completed innings.
That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.
Major League Baseball consists of 9 innings, with each team alternating their at-bat. The Visiting team bats first, which is the top of the inning, and continues batting until 3 Outs have been recorded. The Home team then bats, which is the bottom of the inning, and continues until 3 Outs have been recorded. Then the Visiting team would bat again in the top of the second inning, and the game would continue that way until 9 innings have been played, or 8-1/2 innings if the Home team is ahead after the Visiting team has completed their at-bat in the top of the 8th inning.
In a standard baseball game, there are three outs per inning for each team, with nine innings played. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team has batted in the ninth inning, the game is over at that point (as there is no need for the home team to bat).
The starting pitcher.
In the event of a Pitcher leaving a game in the 6th inning and the game is tied, the loss will be credited to the Pitcher that allowed the base runner on base that won the game for the opposing team.
Barry Larkin scored on a throwing error in the sixth inning.
Can a pitcher re-enter the game as the pither if he did not start the game. He pitched the 3rd inning and the sixth? Thanks Steve
The home team would have to win the game. The home pitcher would face 27 batters and get 27 outs and the visiting pitcher would face 25 batters, getting 24 outs and allowing 1 to score somewhere between the first inning and the eighth inning. That would be 52 batters minimum for a 9 inning, 1-0 game.
