Los Angeles ? Trailing 2-0 in the National League championship series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have the Philadelphia Phillies right where they want them – at home.

That’s where the Dodgers were 4-0 against the Phillies during the regular season.

“We just got to get hot at the right time and now is the right time in front of our fans,” catcher Russell Martin said Saturday. “We know we can beat them.”

The Dodgers went 23-9 at home after the All-Star break, the best record in the major leagues during that span.

They’ll need any home-field advantage because for the first time in eight NLCS appearances, the Dodgers have dropped the first two games. Today will mark the 20th anniversary of the last time they won the NLCS, shutting out the New York Mets, 6-0, in Game 7 at home.

In 10 meetings so far this season, the Dodgers and Phillies have won all their home games.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was at Dodger Stadium for a workout Saturday a day after his mother died, but he didn’t speak with reporters. Shane Victorino, who drove in four runs in Friday’s 8-5 victory, also was in the clubhouse a day after learning his grandmother died.

After sweeping the Chicago Cubs in three games in the first round, the Dodgers find themselves on the other side with the potential of playing three consecutive games at home.

“I’m probably a little more nervous when I have a 2-0 lead than even or down, because you don’t want people to get overconfident,” manager Joe Torre said.

“On the other side of the coin, you have to just think in terms of not looking too far ahead. You’ve got to win the game on the field instead of worrying about how many you have to win out of the next five, stuff like that.”

The Dodgers had the tying run at the plate in the first two games, when they twice blew leads.
