Germany was 3-0 up in the first 27 minutes when Thomas Mueller scored his 39th goal in 102 games for Germany.
It was 5-0 at half-time when Latvian goalkeeper Robert Ozols slotted the ball into his own net and then Serge Gnabry's volley into the top corner ripped the Latvian net before halftime.
Werner, who replaced Havertz in the second half, fired a shot between Ozol's legs for Germany's next goal with 50 minutes gone.

Germany was fooled when Saveljevs' superb shot passed Neuer who couldn't reach the ball before Sane finally made amends with Mueller's cross.
This victory has provided and boosted Germany's confidence ahead of the Euro 2020 finals, but Germany will face much more difficult matches against France and Portugal, who are also the reigning European champions in Group F.
