Interesting. How did you learn the city? It does appear that Google is using city boundaries rather than Post Office addressing. The USPS web site shows Sun City Center and Ruskin as the only acceptable city names for zip code 33573.
I guess one possible workaround for a scenario like this is to send Google a second geocode query with the zip code but no city name, as a fallback for addresses where the legal city and the mailing city differ.
