Salford made it seven wins from their past eight games with a late flurry of points to pull clear of Hull KR for victory in match one of Magic Weekend.
Rovers took the lead through Elliot Minchella before Joe Burgess replied, though George King's try restored a lead going into the half-time break.
Marc Sneyd's boot again kept Salford in it, punishing indiscipline, as Rovers added a third try through Ryan Hall.
Late scores for ex-Rovers duo Ken Sio and Chris Atkin earned Salford victory.
Defeat for Hull KR was compounded by the withdrawal of back-rower James Batchelor following a challenge in the first half, with the Rovers player taken to hospital - albeit conscious and speaking.
