It's an extra special Father's Day for Clayton Kershaw.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher shared a special announcement during the Dodgers' game against the San Francisco Giants on Father's Day Sunday—he and his wife, Ellen, are expecting their fifth child.

"We had a gender reveal today," Kershaw said on the ESPN broadcast. "We've got No. 5 coming, we got another girl coming. We got bookend girls to go with our three boys. Today was a very special Father's Day for us."
