LOS ANGELES -- This new pitching-and-defense formula seems to be working pretty well.The Los Angeles Dodgers fixed their defense about a month ago, going from one of the worst-fielding teams to one of the steadiest. Their pitching was always good, but lately it's been smothering.The Dodgers have seemed to roll with their new identity, beating the slumping Cleveland Indians 1-0 Monday night for their 16th win in their last 22 games. With the San Francisco Giants idle, the Dodgers seized sole possession of first place, the first time they've had that since April 24.
