Ciaran Clark nodded Villa ahead but Rovers were quickly level as Nikola Kalinic bundled home from close range.
Veteran winger Pires restored Villa's lead with a sweet half-volley before Nathan Delfouenso's header made it 3-1.
With half-an-hour left, Villa defender Nathan Baker saw red for a wild tackle on David Hoilett but Gerard Houllier's side easily held out to progress.
