Once a game reaches the official game status, MLB's original rain delay rules remain in effect.
- If an official game is called off when the home team is winning, that game is over.
- If an official game is called off when the visiting team took the lead in a previous inning, the game is over.
- If an official game is called off when the visiting team took the lead in the same inning the game was called, the game is suspended and picked up at a later date.
- If an official game is called off when the score is tied, the game is suspended and picked up at a later date.
