Josh Griffin's red card cost Hull FC after they had matched world club champions St Helens in the first half.
The two sides were level at the break in a bruising Challenge Cup quarter-final encounter.
Second-rower Griffin was shown yellow and red in quick succession for persistent dissent after the half-time whistle.
That signalled a four-try onslaught from Saints despite a brave effort from 12-man Hull.
Victory came at a cost for Saints as Tommy Makinson limped off with an apparent hamstring injury and Mark Percival's game was ended by a head injury assessment.
