CHICAGO (AP) -- Randy Johnson doesn't really care about milestones, statistics or his place in history. Not even the biggies awe him.

"I don't think anybody assumes to take lightly what he's able to do," Arizona manager Buck Showalter said. "Guys like him don't come your way very often."

Only twice before in modern baseball history, to be exact. Johnson became just the third pitcher to win six games in April, striking out 11 and giving up five hits over seven innings Sunday as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0.

The 1999 NL Cy Young winner also won his last three decisions last year, giving him a nine-game winning streak.

"I don't get all wrapped up in that stuff," Johnson said. "I go out there every fifth day and do the best I can."

His best is just about perfect. He only got into trouble once against the Cubs, in the seventh inning. After Sammy Sosa led off with a walk, Johnson struck out the next two batters, Glenallen Hill and Roosevelt Brown. But Damon Buford singled and Joe Girardi followed with another single, this one off Johnson's glove, to load the bases.

But Johnson got Shane Andrews on a called strike, ending the inning and the threat.

He now has 130 games in his career with 10 or more strikeouts, second only to Nolan Ryan's 215 games.

It sure makes for pretty numbers, though. He leads the majors in ERA (0.91), strikeouts (64) and opponents' batting average against (.156). He also leads the majors in victories, shutouts (two) and complete games (three).

Vida Blue and Dave Stewart are the only other pitchers to win six in April, but Johnson did it with a better ERA. Blue went 6-1 with a 1.19 ERA in 1971, and Stewart was 6-0 with a 2.98 in 1988.

He befuddled the Cubs badly. Of his 11 strikeouts, nine were swinging. These weren't just little whiffs, either. Most were twist-your-body-into-the-ground swings that make batters wince in shame when they think about it later.

He walked two and gave up just one extra-base hit, Jose Nieves' double to center in the fifth inning.

"I feel like I'm where I want to be," Johnson said. "But I don't get wrapped up in what I'm doing personally."

The only dent the Cubs made in Johnson and his mystique was Mark Grace's single in the first inning. Grace was just the second left-hander to get a hit off Johnson this year in 21 at-bats; Todd Helton doubled off Johnson on April 20.

It also was Grace's first hit off Johnson. He came into the game 0-for-5.

"He's on a roll right now. He's the most dominant in this league and in the other league, it's Pedro (Martinez)," Cubs manager Don Baylor said. "What you try to do, you only get maybe one chance in a game to put up some runs to mount an attack because they're so dominant."

As if Johnson's domination on the mound wasn't enough, he gave himself some offensive help, too, driving in two runs. Johnson, a career .112 hitter, has a four-game hitting streak going.

"Everyone gets a little lucky every once in a while," Johnson said.

The Cubs managed to keep the game close through the first three innings. Though Andrew Lorraine (1-2) gave up a solo homer to Jay Bell in the first -- the second batter he faced -- he allowed just two hits and struck out four in the first three innings.

Then came the fourth inning. After Luis Gonzalez walked and Steve Finley singled, Lorraine walked Bernard Gilkey to load the bases. Danny Klassen drove in a run with a single to short that Ricky Gutierrez couldn't handle.

That brought up Johnson, who drove in two runs with his single up the gap to give Arizona a 4-0 lead.

"When you spot a guy like that 4-0, you have to be able to get some guys on base and we just couldn't really mount an attack at him at all," Baylor said.

The Diamondbacks got two more runs in the eighth on Gilkey's two-run homer off the left-field fence. He finished the day 2-for-3 with a walk.

Game notes
The Cubs lead the NL with 212 strikeouts. ...Gilkey's homer was his seventh at Wrigley Field. ... The Diamondbacks haven't lost a road series since last July, when they dropped all three in an interleague trip to Seattle on July 18-20. ... The Cubs didn't homer Sunday, the first time in 14 games they haven't gone deep. ... Sosa was called out on strikes in the ninth inning, argued the call and was thrown out of the game by home plate umpire Bill Miller.
