McGinn hit the first home run in Expos history, off Mets starter Tom Seaver (the only home run of his big league career). Six days later, on April 14, he earned the first MLB win in Canada with 5 innings of shutout relief as Montreal defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8–7. McGinn would appear in 74 games in 1969, compiling a 7–10 record with a 3.94 ERA and six saves for an Expos club that went 52-110. McGinn was 7-10 again in 1970, but his ERA jumped to 5.44; he also threw in winter ball and in the instructional league, which resulted in a tired arm. After a disappointing spring training in 1971, McGinn started the season at Triple-A Winnipeg; he returned to Montreal, but was not effective, going 1–4 with a 5.96 ERA. Prior to the 1972 season, the Expos traded McGinn to the Chicago Cubs, where he could only manage a 0–5 mark with a 5.89 ERA. It was McGinn's last year in the big leagues; he would spend the 1973 season with Wichita and Tulsa in Triple-A, with a 3–6 record and a 5.40 ERA. Altogether, McGinn appeared in a total of 210 games (28 starts) during his five MLB seasons, with 15 wins, 30 losses, 10 saves, and an earned run average of 5.11.
