I would point out the minor leagues don't use the same rules for suspended games. In the minors, a game can be suspended before it is an official game. (It is also a rule in the minors that when a suspended game is being completed before the regularly scheduled game for the day, if the suspended game was suspended before reaching official game status, the regular game is shortened to 7 innings; if the suspended game was suspended after official status, the regular game stays at 9 innings.)
