"Clinton Clinches" is in the web address, and the actual headline reads "Clinton Claims Nomination Victory."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ap-clinton-clinches-the-nomination-becoming-first-woman-to-top-a-major-party-ticket/2016/06/06/9875db18-2c5d-11e6-9de3-6e6e7a14000c_story.html

Accordingly, she didn't "WIN." She either claimed or clinched.
