Is there a max innings limit in baseball?

No, there is no innings limit on a baseball game.

Baseball can be played forever. If no one scored a run, the game would never end.

Usually, someone scores.

As the game goes along, the pitching conceptually gets worse, making it easier to score runs.

Sometimes, one hitter just runs into one once to hit a home run that makes the difference.

But there are no ties (especially not in the World Series), and there are no early endings.

Could MLB step in if the game got to the 25th inning and postpone it until the next day? That might be possible, although it’d be unprecedented.

But otherwise, the game goes until someone has more runs at the end of an inning than the other team. Until then, keep playing ball.
