Jacob Brown and ex-Hull City star, Tom Ince, handed Stoke City the win, while Sam Clucas also bagged a brace of assists against his former team.
The loss comes after defeats to Everton and Blackpool and leaves the Tigers without a win in six matches in all competitions.
Grant McCann’s side will host Blackburn Rovers next and will be hoping they can extend the four point gap between themselves and the bottom three.
