Oklahoma City Dodgers' 19-inning marathon prompts pitcher's drive from Tulsa to OKC to aid doubleheader sweep

Tulsa Drillers pitcher Deck McGuire was sitting in the dugout during Tuesday night's game when he was informed someone needed to speak with him on the phone.

It was Los Angeles Dodgers Director of Player Development Gabe Kapler.

With the Oklahoma City Dodgers pitching staff laboring through what would eventually be a 19-inning first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, Kapler informed McGuire he'd been promoted from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Not the next day, not after the Drillers game, but immediately.
