We need the end of that sentence to know what the rule says.
Here's the whole rule:
7.02 Suspended, Postponed, and Tie Games
(a) A game shall become a suspended game that must be completed
at a future date if the game is terminated for any of the
following reasons:
(1) A curfew imposed by law;
(2) A time limit permissible under league rules;
(3) Light failure, malfunction of, or unintentional operator
error in employing, a mechanical or field device or
equipment under the control of the home club (e.g., a
retractable roof, a tarpaulin, or other water removal
equipment);
(4) Darkness, when a law prevents the lights from being
turned on;
(5) Weather, if a regulation game is called while an inning
is in progress and before the inning is completed, and
the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take
the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead;
or
(6) It is a regulation game that is called with the score tied;National Association Leagues may also adopt the following
rules for suspended games. (If adopted by a National
Association League, Rule 7.01(e) would not apply to their
games.);
(7) The game has not become a regulation game (4½
innings with the home team ahead, or 5 innings with the
visiting club ahead or tied);
(
If a game is suspended before it becomes a regulation
game, and is continued prior to another regularly scheduled
game, the regularly scheduled game shall be seven
innings in length. See the exception described in Rule
7.01(a);
(9) If a game is suspended after it is a regulation game, and
is continued prior to another regularly scheduled game,
the regularly scheduled game shall be a nine-inning
game.
EXCEPTION: Optional Rules 7.02(a)(7), 7.02(a)(
,
and 7.02(a)(9) for National Association Leagues shall not
apply to the last scheduled game between the two teams
during the championship season. A National Association
League may adopt any of Rules 7.02(a)(7), 7.02(a)(
,
and 7.02(a)(9) for its post-season games.
No game called because of a curfew (Rule 7.02(a)(1),
weather (Rule 7.02(a)(5), a time limit (Rule 7.02(a)(2), or
with a tied score (Rule 7.02(a)(6) shall be a suspended
game unless it has progressed far enough to have been a
regulation game pursuant to Rule 7.01(c). A game called
pursuant to Rules 7.02(a)(3) or 7.02(a)(4) shall be a suspended
game at any time after it starts.
NOTE: Weather and similar conditions—Rules 7.02(a)(1)
through 7.02(a)(5)—shall take precedence in determining
whether a called game shall be a suspended game. If a
game is halted by weather, and subsequent light failure or
an intervening curfew or time limit prevents its resumption,
the game shall not be a suspended game. If a game is
halted by light failure, and weather or field conditions prevent
its resumption, the game shall not be a suspended
game. A game can only be considered a suspended game if
stopped for any of the six reasons specified in Rule 7.02(a).
Rule 7.02(a ) Comment: The Major Leagues have determined
that Rule 7.02(a) does not apply to any Wild Card, Division
Series, League Championship Series or World Series games or
for any additional Major League championship season game
played to break a tie.
