Getty The Texas Rangers did not need MacKenzie Gore to be perfect on Sunday. They needed him to be sharp when it mattered most. Instead, the exact flaws that have kept him from fully crossing into ace territory showed up again.

The left-hander still flashed the kind of raw talent that made him such an appealing addition.
