    There was no fist-pumping, jubilant high-fiving or any display of excitement. If Greg Dobbs felt any extra satisfaction for beating his former team, he kept it to himself.

    Dobbs delivered a pinch-hit, go-ahead two-run single and the Florida Marlins rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 on Friday night.

    "It feels good regardless of who you're playing against," Dobbs said.

    Dobbs spent the previous four seasons in Philadelphia. He batted .301 and was a key player off the bench for the World Series championship team in 2008.

    But he got an earful of boos when he came to the plate from fans who mostly remember his .196 batting average last year.

    "I heard a couple boos and a couple of cheers," Dobbs said. "I came in here to do my job and help the team."

    It may have been a costly loss for the NL East-leading Phillies because Roy Oswalt left with a back strain. Oswalt pitched six impressive innings before getting hurt. He allowed two runs and four hits, striking out six. He didn't allow a hit until Logan Morrison led off the fifth with a home run into Philadelphia's bullpen.
