"Why was the game suspended and not rained out if it was before the 5th inning and it was weather that caused the game to be unplayable? Shouldn't it be a new game played from -- (edited)"

Seems from 2020 onward, it was decided that it was better to resume suspended games rather than cancelling and playing a new game 🤷♂️

Prior to the 2020 season, if a regular season game was terminated early before becoming official, the results up to the point of the termination did not count and the game was started over at a later date. But as part of MLB's health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, all games cut short before becoming official were resumed at a later date, rather than started over from scratch, during the 2020 campaign.
