St. Louis (2-8-5) is winless in 11 consecutive matches dating to a 1-0 win over Seattle on March 15.
Yapi opened the scoring in the 41st minute. The 20-year-old homegrown knocked down a cross played in from the right side by Ted Ku-Dipietro, turned and scored from the center of the area.
Cedric Teuchert got behind the defense and had a one-on-one opportunity denied by Hansen in the 36th minute.
Roman Bürki had five saves for St. Louis.
The game was delayed in the seventh minute for about an hour-and-a-half due to inclement weather.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora proclaims his team 'not getting better' following 8th loss in 10 games
BOSTON — Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been proclaiming recently that he didn't think his team was far from putting good baseball together following a dismal stretch of games. Those days of optimism appear to be dwindling after Boston's latest setback. The Red Sox lost their 17th one-run game of the season on Tuesday, this time falling 4-3 to the Los Angeles Angels in 10 innings filled with missed opportunities, poor execution defensively and another inconsistent night from the bullpen. It was their eighth loss in 10 games. They are now 9-10-1 in series play, including 4-5-1 at Fenway Park.

Mariners right-hander George Kirby takes line drive to face, exits game
SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby exited Tuesday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles after taking a line drive to the face. With two outs in the fifth inning, Kirby threw a fastball inside to Orioles third baseman Ramón Urías, which he promptly ripped right back up the middle. The baseball made contact with Kirby's face, and he immediately jogged off the field as blood flowed from his mouth. Kirby was promptly attended to by the Mariners training staff. Kirby did not return for the sixth inning, although he had already thrown 95 pitches by the time of his departure. Urías was retired on the play since the ball ricocheted off Kirby's face toward first base, and was fielded by Seattle first baseman Rowdy Tellez. ___ AP MLB:
