One citation date would be designated 2010a and the second 2010b. In-text citation example: Walker (2010a) indicated that . . .
The references are alphabetized by title in the Reference List to determine which is "a" and which is "b." If there is no date, use (n.d.-a), and (n.d.-b).
For example, this is how you would format these (fake) articles in a reference list:
Smith, A. (2012a). Apples are better than oranges. Journal of Apple Studies, 1(1), 1-10.
Smith, A. (2012b). Some oranges are better than apples. Journal of Citrus Research, 2(3), 20-31.
Then, in-text you would want to make sure to add the lettering onto the dates so your reader knows which source you are citing.
For example:
While Smith (2012a) found that most people prefer apples to oranges, Smith’s (2012b) follow up study found that some oranges are typically preferred to apples.
